We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience | Lyndsey Stonebridge

Planning to start this in January.Maybe a chapter per week? Does that sound doable? Rather than generating questions which is not a talent of mine,I thought anyone can post questions ideas,quotes,etcI am sure there will be much to question & research about Arendt‘ philosophy,her times, connections to our time.Thoughts? I know a few of you have started this month. Please keep posting! #adventuresinphilosophy #resistence #HannahArendt

TheBookHippie Sounds good. 3d

GingerAntics That works for me. Coming up with the questions is the hardest part. I was actually considering getting rid of them. 3d

Outrage is definitely a cheap source of political power, until people become numb & apathetic from exhaustion. 😑 My cynical twin says Americans don‘t want my love, just money.

This passage is in reference to Kafka‘s The Castle, which I definitely want to read. It‘s been on my shelves for years.

Denying human dignity makes scapegoating not just possible, but permissible and even promoted.

Terrific introductory chapter to this highly relevant guide to Arendt‘s thinking/political philosophy. I appreciate the fact Stonebridge recognizes Arendt wasn‘t perfect and we are a work in progress with effort.

The end of the first chapter left me thinking about the new admin “eyeing new immigrant detention centers outside major US cities.” Same scapegoating, different target. #resistance @kspenmoll

This book has become very… necessary… in recent weeks. There has been a lot of talk about us reading this. We talked about ending our year with Free Will. It may be a good plan to start our year with this. We could start the first weekend of January (1/5/25). That would give everyone time to get their hands on a copy, as some of us are having a moment trying to get our hands on one. Thoughts? Prayers? Anyone you‘d like to smack upside the head?

GingerAntics @kspenmoll are you doing this one or is it a dead philosophers society thing? I guess I got confused there. 1mo

kspenmoll No problem. We can all do this- I just wanted to make sure people with library books could start now if they need to. Or if they can get a renewal? 1mo

GingerAntics @kspenmoll that‘s fair 1mo
