Class Notes

All Students can enroll - prerequisite review is lifted in summer. From the Instructor: This course is an overview of Hannah Arendt's phenomenological approach. We will emphasize the relevance of Arendt's approach to the understanding of 'the political,' the arts, science, technology, and nature's exploitation. In order to do so, the course is organized around the two central themes of Arendt's thought: vita activa, the life of 'action and speech' and vita contemplativa, the life of 'thought.' Readings will be drawn from The Human Condition and The Life of the Mind, lectures and short essays.
