Hannah Arendt Center presents:
For Love of the World on Radio Kingston
Conversations with the Hannah Arendt Center
Tuesday, November 25, 2025
Online Event
6:00 pm – 6:30 pm
This event occurs on:
Tue. November 25, 6 pm – 6:30 pm
This month's guests are Irene Quiliconi and Felix Bielefeld - two of the scholars from our fall 2025 Visiting Scholar program. The Hannah Arendt Center encourages scholars from around the world to apply for non-stipendiary Visiting Scholar Fellowships. We accept up to six scholars each year whose work would benefit from direct access to The Hannah Arendt Personal Library (HAPL), housed in the Stevenson Library at Bard College; we also accept scholars whose interests align with faculty and fellows at the Arendt Center.
Irene Quiliconi obtained her master’s degree in philosophy at the University of Pisa, with a thesis on Socrates and the figure of the two-in-one in Hannah Arendt’s work. She obtained a degree in Bioethics with a Postgraduate Course at the University of Padova (academic year 2023-2024), where she's discussed her essay on the importance of the matter of abitability within palliative care pathways. She's currently a Ph.D student in Philosophy in the Joint PhD between the University of Ferrara and PUCPR. Her doctoral project is focused on tracing the ethical implications of Arendt’s conception of thinking as developed in The Life of the Mind. She's a staff member of FTF|Lab (Laboratory of Transcendental Philosophy and Phenomenology), and member of the Philosophical Association Persona al Centro.
Felix Bielefeld is a PhD candidate at the University of Leipzig, researching Heinrich Blücher’s teaching practice at Bard College and the New School for Social Research in New York. Drawing on the (partly still unpublished) transcripts of Blücher’s lectures, he explores his unique approach to philosophical education. Felix studied Political Science, Hispanic Studies, and Cultural Studies in Halle, Buenos Aires, Seville, and Leipzig. He works as a political and media educator, independent curator of interdisciplinary exhibitions, and occasional lecturer at the University of Leipzig. His academic teaching focuses on cultural practice and its intersection with philosophy and theory.
For Love of the World, every fourth Tuesday from 6-6:30 pm on Radio Kingston, is your portal to the bold ideas and respectful, deep conversations about contemporary issues that we’re having regularly at the Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College. Join host Roger Berkowitz each month as we delve into the work of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, Hannah Arendt, with renowned scholars and public intellectuals, and exemplify what it means to have a conversation of patient humility, in the Arendtian tradition.
