We're starting a new book! Beginning September 12th, we'll read On Revolution, in preparation for our annual conference on JOY: Loving the World in Dark Times. Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe. From the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century, Arendt traces the changing face of revolution and its relationship to war while underscoring the crucial role such events will play in the future. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.
Free to Bard students, staff, and faculty and to HAC members! Email [email protected] for the Zoom link.
