SUMMARY:What can we learn from... Hannah Arendt?
DESCRIPTION:The event is free but please register via Ticket Tailor. \nHannah Arendt and Totalitarianism\nWhether prompted by concerns over draconian lockdowns\, new authoritarian political leaders\, policing of speech or outlawing demonstrations\, there’s been a revival of interest in Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism. And today\, in the wake of seemingly resurgent anti-Semitism in Europe\, her analysis of the connection between anti-Semitism\, totalitarianism\, and Europe’s dark history bear re-reading. What’s more\, whether attacking the contemporary concern for ‘safety’\, her unflinching defence of the Western canon of literature and philosophy\, her complex views on Israel\, or the role of ‘facts’ in politics\, Arendt was never shy of challenging orthodoxies and addressing profound moral questions. Scholars today routinely dismiss her as a closet racist or typical ‘white liberal’. But what did she really say\, and what can Arendt tell us about the challenges to freedom today? \nSPEAKER: \nJACOB REYNOLDS\, head of policy\, MCC Brussels; associate fellow\, Academy of Ideas; convenor\, Hannah Arendt Study Group \n \nJacob is head of policy for the think tank MCC Brussels\, an organisation founded to shake up the ‘Brussels bubble’ through in-depth exploration of the major challenges facing Europe. He is associate fellow at Academy of Ideas and a volunteer convenor of The Academy\, a weekend residential summer school for free thinkers. Jacob has a BPhil from St Cross College\, Oxford where he specialised in the work of Hannah Arendt\, and is a writer and commentator on issues related to the Culture War\, literature\, and geopolitics. He has an academic background in philosophy.
