We're reading Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.
The Virtual Reading Group is free to HAC members and to the Bard College community. Find the full Virtural Reading Group schedule here: hac.bard.edu/programs/vrg/ Email [email protected] to learn more.
