Dear Reader,
Happy Wednesday from Washington, DC!
I’m in town for an event tonight with the German journalist Mohamed Amjahid as part of the Thinking is Dangerous program. We’re going to be talking about the banality of evil now.
6:30 PM tonight. RSVP here.
Archive fever!
Since I’m in DC, where Hannah Arendt’s papers live, this is just a friendly reminder that Arendt’s archive is now open and online. Thank you, Library of Congress!
May class on Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism
My April Brooklyn Institute course on Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism filled-up quickly, so I’m running the class again in May on Sunday afternoons from 3pm to 6pm EST. Join me from anywhere in the world to read Arendt’s masterpiece!
And finally a few photos from the walk I led of Hannah Arendt’s New Yorker City on Sunday afternoon.
Until soon,
Sam
Good evening! Urgent question. As far as I can see, participation in the Washington D.C. discussion is only possible in person (not via zoom). Is there a chance that this event will be recorded? Mohamed Amjahid is a very important and competent observer of the situation in Germany and in Europe and it would be very important and interesting to listen to your conversation. M.A is used to not mincing words. Grüße aus Düsseldorf 👍
