Podcast appearances and mentions of Hannah Arendt

Te gast is onderwijsfilosofe Anouk Zuurmond en we spreken over de relatie tussen school en samenleving vanuit de vraag en haar boek  'Waarom maken we van scholen geen bedrijven?'De kern van het antwoord van Anouk op deze vraag is tweeledig. Vanuit het pedagogisch eigene van de school gedacht wil ze de school beschermen om haar eigen opdracht vorm te geven, namelijk kinderen in de wereld in te wijden als kritische burgers. Zij volgt hierin het denken van Maarten Simons en Jan Masschelein over de school en dat van Hannah Arendt over de school als een tussenruimte tussen gezin en samenleving. Vanuit de idee van een rechtvaardige samenleving vindt ze ten tweede dat de school alle kinderen evenveel kansen moet bieden.In haar boek verkent Anouk de verhouding tussen school en samenleving vanuit de begrippen privaat en publiek. Eerst onderzoekt ze argumenten voor de invloed van de markt op de school, maar de filosoof John Rawls leert haar dat teveel invloed van het private op de school leidt tot kansenongelijkheid. De markt zal zich richten op maximale winst bij bepaalde leerlingen. Daarna verkent ze met de filosoof Michael Sandel of de school dan een publieke ruimte is. Simons en Masschelein leren haar echter dat de school wel een publieke zaak, maar geen publieke ruimte is. Tot slot onderzoekt ze de invloed vanuit maatschappelijke ideologieën op de school, zoals van kritische pedagogen. Maar daarmee willen ook zij de school net als de markt instrumentaliseren. Uiteindelijk pleit Anouk voor de eigenheid van de school vanuit twee pedagogische principes: geen enkele invloed mag dominant zijn en elke invloed moet pedagogisch gefilterd worden naar leerlingen toe.Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door schoolleidersopleiding ATTC, de Internationale School Voor Wijsbegeerte en rustplek De vallei van het goede leven.

When I heard that Leo XIV's first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” was about “Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence,” my first reaction was dread. Turns out I was wrong; always something new out of Chicago.....This is an experiment (akin to Books in Dark Times and Recall This Story and Recall This B-Side and to JP's earlier Hannah Arendt articles) in soliloquy.

Arendt foi ao julgamento de um criminoso de guerra esperando encontrar um monstro. Encontrou algo mais perturbador. Juvenil Alves comenta o que isso significa para a ética corporativa.

A cena de A Lista de Schindler em que Oskar Schindler observa do alto de uma colina a liquidação do gueto de Cracóvia cria o ponto de partida deste episódio: depois que alguém vê e compreende o que está acontecendo, o que faz com aquilo que sabe? A partir daí, Luciano Pires percorre o conceito de “emigração interna”, sua relação com Hannah Arendt e a banalidade do mal, até chegar às pequenas acomodações do cotidiano, à ignorância pluralística e à diferença entre ter uma opinião e tomar uma posição. Uma investigação sobre o momento em que preservar a consciência pode deixar de ser resistência e se transformar numa forma confortável de continuar participando. Host: Luciano Pires - @lucianopires – lucianopires.com.br Takeaways• O emigrante interno permanece fisicamente dentro de um grupo ou sistema, mas procura se afastar moralmente daquilo com que não concorda.• O silêncio não expressa necessariamente concordância, mas pode ser interpretado pelos outros dessa maneira e ajudar a criar a impressão de uma maioria que talvez nem exista. • Ter opinião e tomar posição são coisas diferentes: a posição começa quando aquilo que pensamos produz algum efeito, ainda que pequeno, sobre a maneira como agimos.

Age of Controlling; Bürokratische Schulden; Warum am Ende nie jemand schuld ist und der Weltfrieden nur 120 einfache Schritte entfernt.  Chris erinnert sich, dass da noch ein Thema aus der letzten Folge offen war: das „Age of Controlling". Immer mehr Formulare, Vorentscheidungen, Nutzungsbedingungen, und bloß die richtige Reihenfolge einhalten. Dabei findet Alex Bürokratie im Prinzip gut, denn sie macht dich unabhängig vom Gusto deines Gegenübers. Das Problem beginnt woanders: bei Entscheidungen, die nicht auf die Sicherheit der Sache optimiert sind, sondern auf die Sicherheit der Entscheidung. Kommt hinterher Grütze raus, zeigst du eben auf den Prozess. Chris erzählt von einer maroden Brücke im Ruhrpott, an der 50 Organisationen mitentscheiden dürfen, und von dem Politiker, dessen Lösung eine 51. Behörde ist. Es geht um bürokratische Schulden ganz im Sinne technischer Schulden, um den Stempel, der nicht kommt, weil jemand krank ist, und um die Frage, ob am Ende niemand schuld ist oder ob genau das der Sinn der Sache war. Chris hat sich vorbereitet (was Alex ehrlich überrascht) und Hannah Arendt mitgebracht: „In einer voll entwickelten Bürokratie bleibt schließlich niemand übrig, mit dem man diskutieren, dem man Klagen vortragen, auf dem man Macht ausüben könnte." Alex widerspricht der Ursächlichkeit. Nicht Regeln machen ungerecht, sondern ihre ungleiche Anwendung. Trotzdem: Wer jemanden blockieren will, braucht keine Opposition, nur einen ausreichend komplizierten Käfig. Meistens reicht aber Inkompetenz, wo man Boshaftigkeit vermutet. Das Verwaltungsgericht als Chris' Lieblingsinstitution, ein runder Tisch, an dem Monate zu einer Stunde werden, getrennte Warm- und Kaltwasserhähne in England und eine Bohrfliege, deren Bekämpfung jemand für Unsinn hielt. Ein paar gesparte Millionen, ein exponentielles Problem zurück. Die Frage nach der Alternative heben wir uns auf. Bis dahin gründen wir die Bürgerkratie: Jeder bekommt seine eigene Behörde, Politiker füllen erst das Formular „Wir wollen Ihre Stimme" aus, und der Weltfrieden ist nur noch Formular WF 23 entfernt. Fair muss es ja sein.   In der Folge erwähnt: Bürokratie: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bürokratie Zwei Hähne in UK - auf BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-42948046 Neuwelt-Schraubenwurmfliege: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuwelt-Schraubenwurmfliege Schraumbenwurmfliege in den USA - Frankfurter Rundschau: https://www.fr.de/panorama/experten-ordnen-risiken-ein-usa-neuwelt-schraubenwurmfliege-taucht-in-texas-auf-zr-94345967.html --------Noch ein Podcast:Perspektiven auf Software & Design von Chris & Alex.www.bessermit.design --------

In PART II A conversation between Robert P. Jones and Brad Onishi, whose books—Backslide and American Caesar—arrive one week apart from the same publisher. Jones traces how "backsliding" carries both theological and political-science meanings, citing survey data showing measurable democratic erosion (from a rating of 67 down to 54, with a projected drop to 47) and arguing white Christianity, not just American democracy, is in "apostasy," pointing to majority white evangelical support for immigrant detention camps as a bright line. Onishi then walks through American Caesar's core argument: that Reconstructionist Protestants, radical traditional Catholics, and tech-world figures have formed a loose coalition around "saving Western civilization," a discourse he argues is really about excluding Muslims, African and Latin American migrants, and anyone outside a narrow white Christian identity, while reaching back not to the 1950s but toward a fantasy of medieval Christendom. The two discuss Hannah Arendt's writing on inner resistance versus external compliance, the media's reluctance to scrutinize Christian nationalism the way it would Islam, and the resurgence of arguments for restricting women to domestic roles. They close on a note of qualified hope: polling suggests a majority of Americans favor religious pluralism and multiculturalism even though a minority currently holds power, and both authors call for renewing—rather than simply restoring—a democratic and theological imagination for a generation to whom "democracy" no longer means much on its own.

In PART I of this conversation, Brad Onishi and Robert P. Jones (author of Backslide: Reclaiming a Faith in a Nation after the Christian Turn Against Democracy) discuss what they call the "war on empathy" within segments of white Christianity in the United States. Robert argues that voices like Allie Beth Stuckey, Joe Rigney, and Elon Musk framing empathy as sinful serves as a theological retrofit that gives people permission to support policies—like mass deportation and detention—that their deeper moral instincts would otherwise reject. Drawing parallels to 1933 Germany, the civil rights era (Emmett Till, Birmingham), and more recent events (George Floyd's murder, January 6th), the two explore how this ideology trains people to override empathetic responses to visible suffering and even to deny documented reality altogether, a phenomenon they tie to Hannah Arendt's writing on self-deception under authoritarian regimes. The conversation closes with a brief teaser about Robby's book concept of "embracing division," which argues polarization is not the core problem in American politics but rather a symptom of a broken system and rising anti-democratic forces. Books mentioned:

Over films, series, boeken en andere popculturele verschijnselen die ons blij maken, verbazen of hebben ontroerd. Over wat je niet mag missen, maar vooral: wat je van kunst kunt leren over het leven zelf. Met host Esma Linnemann word je samen met de cultuurexperts van de Volkskrant elke week bijgepraat. In twee minuten levenswijzer: filosoof Stine Jensen serveert dagelijks nieuwe inzichten aan de hand van één quote. Van Erasmus tot Dolly Parton en van Hannah Arendt tot Jochem Myjer.

The Symposium series concludes this week with a talk by the Bishop of Edmonton, Dr Anderson Jeremiah, and a response by Dr Anna Rowlands, the St Hilda Professor of Catholic Social Thought & Practice in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University.

Elisa Tamarkin, an English prof of high repute (Anglophilia and Apropos of Something: A History of Irrelevance and Relevance) at UC Berkeley, joins RTB to discuss Done in a Day: Telex from the Fall of Saigon. It is an extended reflection on the last day of the Vietnam War, set against the imminent disappearance of war coverage in the nation's city newspapers, and framed through her own stepfather's experience covering the war. Tamarkin anatomizes curious forms of self-delusion that flourished in the American Me generation and traces the subtle trajectory that stretching from the journalistic autonomy of the mid-century to the "embedded reporters" of the US war in Iraq to today's implacable governmental hostility to truthful reportage. Back in the 1960's Hannah Arendt and others warned that bubbles of non-information and delusive self-deceit got propagated within the corridors of power and out in the larger public realm. Now cloudy misinformation is the property of a near-ubiquitous social media realm whose corrosive effect (the power to unthink) is far less circumscribed. Mentioned Hannah Arendt, "Lying in Politics" (subject of an earlier RTB episode) and "Home To Roost". Frank Kermode Sense of an Ending (1967). The philosopher John Pollock published a book called Knowledge and Justification in 1975. Jamie Cohen-Cole The Open Mind Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death (1973). Ursula Le Guin The Lathe of Heaven 1971 (Elisa also mentions John's book on Le Guin). R. A. Lafferty, The Fall of Rome (1971). Thomas Harris, I'm OK, You're OK (1967).

You can send a text, include contact info to get a response. Last episode we had the emotional episode about the sufferings of paupers in 16th century Italy.  So we are now done.. with autophagy, cannibalism, dung eating, baker murdering, and all that.We are now moving on to a European wide response to poverty at the policy level.  Bronislaw Geremek's Poverty A History is a primary source.  Then when we move on to the specifically British response of the poor laws we will mainly be using Paul Slack's Poverty and Policy in Tudor England.   And a long essay by Paul Fideler  called Poverty, Policy and Providence.Some of the specific incidents come from Camporesi's Bread of Dreams.“Social Science has from its very inception, always recognized the importance of poverty, and its two most vital questions, what causes poverty and how is it to be eradicated.”I'll point out that the philosopher Hannah Arendt, named John Locke's notion that wealth is the product of human creativity.   Therefore, it is theoretically unlimited, opening the possibility that poverty can be eliminated.  I have to mention that, because the question of what causes poverty is sort of foolish, physics causes poverty.  Humans have to expend effort merely to live and creating wealth requires a high degree of coordination and cooperation.  The how is poverty to be eradicated question is more interesting, because it has happened and failed in many different ways.

In this episode Pat speaks with Dr Alex Cain. Dr Alex Cain researches in the fields of political theory and ethical theory, with a particular focus on the work of Hannah Arendt, among other figures in the history of philosophy. Her work in this field has so far mostly focussed on the topics of friendship, political action, judgement and the role of experience in philosophical inquiry. They discuss Sidney Nolan's duty to paint the concentration camps, the hopefulness of Hannah Arendt, and the importance of the banality of evil.

Der Film "Im Lauf der Zeit" von Wim Wenders machte ihn 1976 bekannt, auch international. Es folgten Filme mit Claude Chabrol, Andrew Birkin. Neben seiner äußerst produktiven Filmarbeit schreibt Hanns Zischler Bücher. Er schreibt Romane, Sachbücher, beschäftigt sich mit Literatur, Architektur oder Philosophie. "Berlin ist zu groß für Berlin", "Kafka geht ins Kino" oder seine Übersetzung der Graphic Novel "Die drei Leben der Hannah Arendt" von Ken Krimstein wurden viel beachtet.Jetzt ist Hanns Zischler mit Sandra Hüller in Pawel Pawlikowskis Film "Vaterland" zu sehen. Ein Film, der in Cannes bereits mit der Silbernen Palme ausgezeichnet und über den in den Feuilletons schon viel gesprochen wurde, der von Thomas Manns Reise durch das tief gezeichnete, erschütterte Nachkriegseuropa handelt. Bevor "Vaterland" in die deutschen Kinos kommt, ist Hanns Zischler zu Gast bei NDR Kultur à la carte.

"Żaden początek nie może się wydarzyć bez użycia przemocy”; „Wszelkie braterstwo, do jakiego zdolni są ludzie, wyrasta z bratobójstwa”; „Każda stworzona przez ludzi organizacja polityczna ma swe źródło w zbrodni” - tak pisała Hannah Arendt, wybitna myślicielka, filozofka, badaczka polityki, pamięci, zła i przemocy w życiu narodów.Państwa narodowe, również te, które dziś z dumą wyznają filozofię praw człowieka i obywatela, oparte są na wcześniejszych czystkach etnicznych, na rzeziach - które budowały narodową tożsamość, zbrodniach, często o charakterze ludobójczym. Rozmawiamy o tym w bardzo konkretnym momencie historycznym:W czasie, gdy Izrael - państwo, którego jednym w fundamentów założycielskich jest Holokaust dokonuje zbrodni wojennych, a być może również ludobójstwa na Palestyńczykach.W czasie, gdy wśród sprawców Holokaustu - Niemców pojawiają się ruchy społeczne i partie polityczne, które próbują dystansować się od winy za zbrodnie dokonane 80 lat temu.W czasie, kiedy status Polski – jeszcze niedawno wyłącznie ofiary II wojny światowej – coraz częściej podważany jest nie tylko przez innych, ale też przez nas samych. Rozmawiamy wreszcie w trakcie historycznego sporu między Polską i Ukrainą na temat Wołynia, a także ukraińskiego nacjonalizmu i polskiego kolonializmu - jak określają niektórzy politykę Polski na różnych etapach krytycy polskiej historii.Co to jest kapitał moralny i dlaczego dążenie do jego zachowania i zwiększania stanowi podstawę polityki historycznej każdego kraju. Jak można stracić status bohatera czy ofiary i stać się sprawcą wydarzeń w historii? I wreszcie, jak w tym wszystkim zachować zdrowy rozsądek, który pozwoli sąsiadom i nie tylko żyć w pokoju i akceptacji wzajemnego prawa do rozumienia historii.Gość: Michał Łuczewski---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata to audycja, która istnieje dzięki naszym Patronom, dołącz się do zbiórki ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠Subskrybuj newsletter Raportu o stanie świata ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠Koszulki i kubki Raportu ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Autopromocja]

Episode 259: Plato, Aristotle and other thinkers who lived centuries ago still shape how we understand happiness, character and the good life. Host Richard Kyte explains which philosophers influenced him most — and why their ideas continue to matter. Kyte begins with Plato, the thinker he says has influenced him more than anyone else. He explains how Plato elevated the life of the mind and argued that truth, goodness and beauty are not simply matters of personal opinion. That idea, Kyte says, still shapes the way he thinks about ethics today. From there, the conversation moves to Aristotle, who took a more practical approach by asking what human beings ultimately want. His answer was happiness, but not in the sense of momentary pleasure. Instead, Aristotle argued that a flourishing life depends on developing virtues such as courage, temperance and justice. Kyte connects those ideas to modern discussions of character and even contemporary positive psychology. The discussion then jumps ahead to Augustine, who blended classical philosophy with Christian thought, especially ideas about love, sin and the moral structure of reality. Ralph Waldo Emerson follows, not as a conventional academic philosopher, but as a writer whose work helped Kyte understand how reading, memory and reflection can shape a person’s inner life. For his fifth choice, Kyte bends the rules and names a group rather than a single person: several 20th-century female philosophers, including Hannah Arendt, Iris Murdoch and Martha Nussbaum. He explains how their work pushed back against overly abstract systems of thought and returned attention to questions of human nature, goodness, justice, love and forgiveness. Throughout the episode, host Scott Rada asks a simpler question on behalf of listeners who may know these names but not their ideas: Why should any of this still matter? That question becomes especially important in the final discussion, when the hosts consider the declining role of philosophy and the liberal arts in higher education. Kyte argues that career-focused courses may teach useful skills, but philosophy asks a more fundamental question: What kind of life are those skills supposed to help us build?

Silvia Vizzardelli"Che cos'è l'atto di creazioneGilles DeleuzeA cura di Antonella MoscatiCronopio Edizioniwww.cronopio.it"Che cos'è l'atto di creazione?" raccoglie una conferenza di Gilles Deleuze rimasta a lungo inedita e poco conosciuta anche in Francia, tenuta nel 1987 alla FEMIS, la Scuola Superiore di Cinema di Parigi, insieme a due interviste del 1983 e del 1986. Il volume è pubblicato da Cronopio, storica casa editrice napoletana, nella collana "Tessere", a cura di Antonella Moscati.Nella conferenza Deleuze riflette sulle condizioni dell'atto creativo inteso come atto di pensiero: un pensiero che, nel linguaggio del cinema, si esprime attraverso quei blocchi singolari di spazio-tempo che sono le immagini cinematografiche. Non si tratta, per Deleuze, di applicare la filosofia al cinema o viceversa, ma di mostrare come i due domini comunichino spontaneamente, l'uno rilanciando l'altro. Nelle due interviste che completano il volume, Deleuze mostra invece come le immagini cinematografiche, passando attraverso il cervello e il corpo dello spettatore, possano acquistare la forza di un autentico atto politico di resistenza.È lo stesso Deleuze a indicare il cuore della questione: "Qualcosa di strano mi ha colpito nel cinema: la sua attitudine inaspettata a manifestare, non il comportamento, ma la vita spirituale [...]. La vita spirituale non è il sogno né il fantasma, che sono sempre stati un vicolo cieco per il cinema, ma il dominio della decisione fredda, della caparbietà assoluta, della scelta dell'esistenza [...]. Si passa spontaneamente dalla filosofia al cinema, ma anche dal cinema alla filosofia."Un testo breve ma denso, che si può leggere come una porta d'accesso agile ai grandi temi dell'opera deleuziana — l'immagine, il tempo, la creazione come resistenza — nella forma diretta e parlata della conferenza pubblica.Gilles Deleuze (Parigi, 1925 – Parigi, 1995) è stato uno dei filosofi più influenti del secondo Novecento. Ha insegnato per quasi vent'anni all'Università di Paris VIII, prima a Vincennes e poi a Saint-Denis. Tra le sue opere principali: "Nietzsche e la filosofia" (1962), "Differenza e ripetizione" (1968), "Logica del senso" (1969), e, in collaborazione con Félix Guattari, "L'Anti-Edipo" (1972) e "Mille piani" (1980), capitoli del progetto "Capitalismo e schizofrenia". Ha dedicato al cinema i due volumi "L'immagine-movimento" (1983) e "L'immagine-tempo" (1985), e ha firmato con Guattari, nel 1991, "Che cos'è la filosofia?". Il suo pensiero, costruito attorno ai concetti di differenza, divenire e molteplicità, ha attraversato la storia della filosofia, la letteratura, il cinema e le arti, lasciando un'eredità che continua a nutrire il dibattito filosofico contemporaneo.Antonella Moscati è scrittrice e filosofa, nata a Napoli. Studiosa di Hannah Arendt, ha tradotto e curato in italiano opere di Deleuze, Jean-Luc Nancy, Michel Foucault, Walter Benjamin e altri protagonisti del pensiero francese e tedesco contemporaneo. È da anni tra le voci più attive della casa editrice Cronopio, per cui ha curato numerosi volumi. Ha esordito come narratrice in Francia con "Verbali" (Léo Scheer, 2000); tra le sue opere pubblicate in Italia: "Una quasi eternità" (Nottetempo, 2006 e 2022), "Deliri" (Nottetempo, 2009), "Una casa" (Nottetempo, 2015), "Ellen West. Una vita indegna di essere vissuta" (Quodlibet, 2021) e "Patologie" (Quodlibet, 2024).Silvia Vizzardelli insegna Estetica all'Università di Verona. La sua ricerca si muove tra estetica e teoria delle arti, con un'attenzione particolare, negli ultimi anni, all'incontro tra estetica e psicoanalisi. È docente della Scuola di specializzazione in Psicoterapia psicoanalitica (Psicomed) e collabora regolarmente con la rivista "doppiozero", per cui scrive su Deleuze, Derrida, Blanchot, Agamben e altri autori del pensiero contemporaneo. Tra le sue pubblicazioni: "Filosofia della musica" (Laterza, 2007), "La tentazione dello spazio. Estetica e psicoanalisi dell'inorganico", con Valentina De Filippis (Salerno, 2016) e "Teleplastia.

After a great human-wrought tragedy, how are victims and their kin made right? What does it mean to take revenge, to exact vengeance, to seek redress, to go vigilante in seeking justice? What counts as the proper or sufficient retaliation or retribution--and what can or should be left to the impartial third-person mechanisms of a justice system? To ask about those troubling topics from a new angle, Brandeis University's Laura Jockusch (author, previously, of Collect and Record and Jewish Honor Courts) has written about Jewish revenge on genocide perpetrators in her searching, and shocking Jewish Revenge and the Holocaust. Drawing on her great erudition and painstaking archival research, she explores how views changed during and after the war--and in following decades when justice and vengeance came to seem potentially compatible, especially if revenge could be rendered an aesthetic or imaginative phenomenon. Mentioned in the episode Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds Seekers for vengeance and also justice: Eli Wiesel and Simon Wiesenthal The killing of Ernst Vom Rath (pretext for the Night of Broken Glass) Aeschylus, The Oresteia (5th century B.C.)

In this digest Amanda and Samuel look at if and when writing and reading help us make a difference. Amanda shares some of her reflections in writing her new book Conscious Tribes, and together they compare the idea of writing as a conversation with the reader and writing as an act of persuasion used to convince the reader of a particular way of thinking.Borrowing insights from Chris Nolan's adaptation of Homer's Odssey and Hannah Arendt's exploration of public and private, and story, they explore what it means to tell (and retell) our stories, and to share stories with others in mind.You can find our more and order Amanda's book Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference here.========For more about ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more about Samuel:Personal site: https://www.samuelmchu.comThe Campaign for Hong Kong: https://www.thecampaignforhongkong.orgDemocracy in Flight: https://www.democracyinflight.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuelmchuTwitter/X: https://x.com/samuelmchuFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/samuelmchuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/samuelmchuFor more about Amanda:Personal site: https://amandatattersall.com/ On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallAmanda's new books are called People Power in Cities & Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. Thirty years after the event, Matthew Longo returns to the border to reflect on the legacy of the picnic and the nature of freedom. The site of the former "death zone" has ironically become the most green part of Europe—a "green belt" of pastoral woodlands. Longo interviews the aging survivors, including Nemeth, Agnes, and Laslo, a curator of documents who describes the unremarkable-looking spot as Anus Mundi. The final discussion explores the evolving meaning of liberty, contrasting Isaiah Berlin's "negative liberty" (freedom from state interference and freedom of movement) with Hannah Arendt's concept of "plurality" and solidarity. Longo notes a "perverse irony": many East Germans who successfully fled to the West were ultimately disappointed by the version of freedom they found, which lacked the sense of community and solidarity they had experienced in the East. In a modern world where walls are being rebuilt and xenophobia is rising, the story of the Pan-European Picnic serves as a prompt to rethink how the euphoria of 1989 transitioned into the embattled state of liberalism today.

Hannah Arendt gilt als eine der einflussreichsten politischen Denkerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts – unkonventionell, ideologiekritisch, streitbar. Ihr Denken, entstanden aus den Erschütterungen von Flucht, Exil und Staatenlosigkeit, bleibt 50 Jahre nach ihrem Tod von erstaunlicher Gegenwartskraft. «Denken ohne Geländer» – diesem Anspruch widmete Arendt ihr ganzes Leben. Sie durchlebte die Katastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts, floh vor den Nationalsozialisten, stellte sich in den USA neu auf und widmete ihr Leben der Suche nach Wahrheit und Freiheit. Sie beharrte auf intellektuelle Beweglichkeit statt Zugehörigkeit und war konsequent ideologiekritisch. Freundschaft wurde für sie zur politischen Tugend, Pluralität zum Grundprinzip menschlichen Zusammenlebens. Wie wirken die biografischen Brüche und Neuanfänge in ihr Werk hinein? Warum spielt Zwischenmenschlichkeit und Freundschaft eine so zentrale Rolle in ihrer politischen Theorie? Und weshalb gewinnen Arendts Ideen gerade heute so an Brisanz? Olivia Röllin im Gespräch mit Grit Strassenberger, Professorin für Politische Theorie und Autorin der neuen Biografie «Die Denkerin. Hannah Arendt und ihr Jahrhundert». Wiederholung vom 7. Dezember 2025

In the spirit of Hannah Arendt's natality principle (that new things are always and should always be being born, each one unique and endowed with limitless potential) we at RTB love it when a new podcast appears. Especially one as thoughtful and original as The Caste Pod, which assembles scholars and activists to make sense of what caste is, how it's experienced and how it has travelled globally. Join us to discuss and share an extended excerpt is its widely published (check out her earlier books!) founder Ajantha Subramanian, Professor of Anthropology at CUNY Graduate Center, and producer (with Lori Allen) of the “Violent Majorities” series here at RTB. John and Ajantha delve into the founding of the podcast, and then enter into the business end of the series, which is to explore the complex interplay between caste, race and class as organizing features of economic inequality and its corresponding features of cultural discrimination and oppression. Ajantha's extended conversation with Prachi and Ram of Savera, a multiracial, interfaith, anti-caste coalition of Indian Americans from The Caste Pod episode 10 lays bare its premise: to put scholars and activists into conversation and opens a space engineered for each to learn form the other. Before introducing the Savera excerpt, Ajantha frames the topic by way of Isabel Wilkerson's influential (if problematic) book Caste and its neglect of class and economic issues, and also the case against Cisco for caste discrimination in California that in significant ways internationalized the fight around caste's role in perpetuating economic and political inequity.

Before introducing the Savera excerpt, Ajantha frames the topic by way of Isabel Wilkerson's influential (if problematic) book Caste and its neglect of class and economic issues, and also the case against Cisco for caste discrimination in California that in significant ways internationalized the fight around caste's role in perpetuating economic and political inequity.

In the spirit of Hannah Arendt's natality principle (that new things are always and should always be being born, each one unique and endowed with limitless potential) we at RTB love it when a new podcast appears. Especially one as thoughtful and original as The Caste Pod, which assembles scholars and activists to make sense of what caste is, how it's experienced and how it has travelled globally. Join us to discuss and share an extended excerpt is its widely published (check out her earlier books!) founder Ajantha Subramanian, Professor of Anthropology at CUNY Graduate Center, and producer (with Lori Allen) of the “Violent Majorities” series here at RTB.

The conversation explores one central question: What should ordinary people do when a government begins crossing moral lines? Matt Robison sits down with Gal Beckerman of The Atlantic to discuss his powerful new book How to Be a Dissident—drawing lessons from Václav Havel, Alexei Navalny, Hannah Arendt, Nelson Mandela, the Civil Rights Movement, Soviet dissidents, and more.This isn't a conversation about performative outrage or easy answers. It's about the difficult moral choices every democracy eventually asks of its citizens:• When should you resist?• What kinds of resistance actually matter?• Is protest enough?• Does political satire accomplish anything?• How do ordinary people find the courage to stand up to power?Whether you agree or disagree with every conclusion, this discussion explores one of the defining questions of our time.Subscribe for more conversations about democracy, politics, elections, and the future of America.Substack:https://worthknowing.substack.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@WorthKnowingwithMattRobisonChapters00:00 Introduction: When Government Turns Evil04:05 Why Gal Beckerman wrote How to Be a Dissident05:20 Do Americans need dissidents today?08:15 The nightmare that inspired the book10:00 When do you decide to resist?12:00 Hannah Arendt and moral courage15:00 Milgram, Stanford Prison & conformity18:00 Why dissent begins with standing alone20:20 The surprising traits real dissidents share22:00 Why being loud isn't enough24:00 Do protests actually accomplish anything?26:00 Political humor vs. authoritarianism29:00 Truth, lies, and fact-checking dictators35:00 Havel vs. Kundera: What really changes history?37:00 The power of bearing witness40:00 MLK, LBJ, and why successful movements need both insiders and outsiders42:00 The Children's Crusade and strategic moral risk46:00 Israel, Gaza, and personal moral responsibility47:45 The hardest question: "What are you prepared to do?"50:00 Living a meaningful life through moral choices52:00 Closing thoughtsKeywordsauthoritarianism, democracy, resisting authoritarianism, Gal Beckerman, The Atlantic, How to Be a Dissident, Donald Trump, democracy in America, political resistance, authoritarian government, civil rights movement, Václav Havel, Alexei Navalny, Hannah Arendt, Nelson Mandela, Soviet dissidents, political courage, moral courage, democratic backsliding, constitutional democracy, political philosophy, American politics, Matt Robison, Worth KnowingHashtags#Politics #Democracy #Authoritarianism #Trump #GalBeckerman #TheAtlantic #WorthKnowing #Resistance #DemocracyMatters #PoliticalDiscussion #CurrentEvents #MattRobison

Tomorrow's inauguration may spell the end for Donald Trump's disastrous presidency, but the monster he unleashed upon us January 6th will be with us for a generation. Michael discusses how the rioters were not some extraordinary group of hardened extremists, but rather, they come from our own communities; representing, as writer Hannah Arendt noted in her landmark 1963 New Yorker essay about the trial of Adolf Eichmann, "the banality of evil." The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson joins Michael to discuss how we go about dismantling Trump's ugly legacy and hold the rioters and those who supported them accountable.
