We discussed chapters 3 and 4 of Henry's Barbarism on 19 January. Our next meeting will on 2nd February, devoted to chapter 5. 

 

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 15 December and deal with chapter 2 of Henry's Barbarism, taking us up to page 38.

You may also find the following information interesting. It relates to Hannah Arendt, the author we were concerned with earlier this Semester, and the whole of last year. We read The Life of the Mind and her lectures on Kant's political philosophy.

1. The Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College had a reading group on The Life of the Mind, which ran 2019 and was recorded, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIMICkj6QOo&list=PLYW5qHLZjOWHo6acyqf1qEyK3qCEQwfgb
   

2. And in the first podcast, a forthcoming critical edition of The Life of the Mind was mentioned, with interesting divergences from the version we read (the only one currently available still, it seems). Here is the edition's announcement, apparently out this year:  https://www.arendteditionprojekt.de/en/projekt/Editorial-Plan/index.html
