Why Hannah Arendt Is So Important, in Her Own Words

A very intelligent perspective on Arendt. That some people can't grok the subtleties of her perspective is likely an example of psyche projections. Thanks Paul.

Let's give Arendt the option of being burned alive or hooking it prior to being burned alive and see how she feels.

Granted, she'd have to be younger - or she'd simply be burned alive - but still.

Way to show some Holiday Spirit lake_superior!

Perhaps you should ask Santa for some better meds this year.

Even though you've been very, very naughty.

Constant- you are too far down the rabbit hole to see clearly anymore. everything that Arendt says, and people to this day try to autopsy are just common, natural law thoughts made y someone who refused to let group outrage get in the way of critical thinking. While I do not want to suggest that the folks in the upper echelons of the National socialist party were in any way innocent, by and large they each were a cog and were just making the best decisions that were required of them. Very sad, but true.

The David Foster Wallace entry is always especially disappointing.

The cold's been especially rough on some folks
