New Reading for Academic Year 2020–2021

At our last meeting we concluded our discussion of Nancy, The Ground of the Image. 
We also decided that we would read in the next academic year: 

Hannah Arendt, The Life of the Mind (San Diego: Harcourt, 1978)

This edition includes both volumes: Thinking and Willing. 

The third topic she was planning to treat, but did not get round to treating before her death, was Judging. Some of what she was going to say about that is thought to have been connected to the work later published as her Lectures on Kant's Political Philosophy, ed. Ronald Beiner (Brighton: Harvester, 1982). Whether we should plan our reading in such a way that there is time to look at this work also is something we need to discuss at the beginning of the year.

We are likely to resume our meetings in late September.

It is unclear whether we will meet by zoom or face to face. If you wish to join us, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me at alex.samely@manchester.ac.uk to receive further information. 

If anybody has problems getting hold of the text of The Life of the Mind let me know. 

Hope you see you next year!
