On #teaching: “While critical thinking is an important skill, what teachers teach … is enthusiasm and a love of #learning. The great teachers are the lovers of learning. What they teach, above all, is the experience of discovery.” – @rogerberkowitz.bsky.social medium.com/amor-mundi/o...

Gerrymandering, Jünger, total war, and the threat to the republic. medium.com/amor-mundi/w...

ICE is expanding into something colder, harder, more dangerous. Disappearances. Masks. Silence. Hannah Arendt warned what comes next. Read my latest: Dangerous Ice, featuring Sophie Cabot Black’s haunting poem. @sophiecabotblac medium.com/p/ed9c707ad212

In amor mundi we kid poetry and horror. Arendt and Ice. Https://conta.cc/4lRgOHg

How to be Decent in an Indecent society. You need to listen to Ian Buruma on this essential question. @timothysnyder.bsky.social @marcishore.bsky.social

Samantha Fazekas' "Hannah Arendt's Unwritten Chapter on Judging" is fantastic. The inaugural volume in the new Series "Thinking With Arendt". Absolutely essential reading. @degruyterbrill.bsky.social @arendtedition.bsky.social @hannaharendtcenter.bsky.social @samantharhill.bsky.social

civil disobedience are not peripheral to democratic life, but lie at the very heart of American democracy. www.pbs.org/wnet/america... @hannaharendtcenter.bsky.social @arendtedition.bsky.social @bardcollege.bsky.social

How to live as a decent person in an indecent society. Ian Buruma asks the right questions.

Why it is wrong to call Zohran Mamdani an antisemitism but right to be worried about the antisemitism of the movement he participates in.

It was excellent! Just the right pitch and tone. And, kudos to @samantharhill.bsky.social @lyndseystonebri.bsky.social & @rogerberkowitz.bsky.social They were great and are great guides to discovering Arendt! Thank you to PBS and everyone involved. Now,… where to begin with reading Arendt?

I had high expectations for the PBS documentary on Hannah Arendt, which premiered last night. www.pbs.org/wnet/america... They were exceeded. "Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny" excelled in doing just what the title says. Facing it. If you watched last night, feel free to share your reactions.

youtu.be/VIDTjiBj7WA I had so much fun giving this TEDX talk on why we need to speak our minds. Thanks to the Bard TEDX team. @hannaharendtcenter.bsky.social @bardcollege.bsky.social

Enjoy this conversation with @jamesfishkin about deliberative democracy and citizens assemblies.
