A fine interview conducted by an extraordinarily erudite and inciteful interviewer…… a rarity indeed. Thank you sir. Prescient for me as I’m re-reading Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism and intend to study Richard Bernstein’s study thereafter. An aside: Interview took place in what I assume is Bernstein’s apartment? What a wonderfully ecclectic collection ….. the Nakashima pieces in partcicular caught my attention. With much appreciation, Miss Jenny (music teacher, Manhattan).
@@johnalbert5786 It's not elitism. Peterson is not a true intellectual. He's an Pseudo-Fascist ideologue who misrepresents any academic subject that doesnt conform to ideology he's peddling to our youth.
Bernstein showed himself to be an academician all the way. And from what I remember reading, Arendt was deeply concerned not simply with lying in politics-but CRIMINALITY entering politics (particularly in america).

Bernstein, Epstein, Weinstein. They all are going to save the world...
Really? why? He says much the same about hierarchies’ proclivity to corrupt and decline into tyranny. Have you actually read any of his books, watched any of hundreds of hours of lectures, debates and interview-conversations? Or are you ‘relying’ on second, third … hand caricatures?
I like all that was Hannah Arendt, her spirit, her character, and her thinking. What irks me in general and also here: the name is butchered. Her name was Arendt, pronounced Ah-rund, with emphasis on the first syllable, the German word for eagle. How come they all pronounce the name as if it was a French name?
@@johannavanzanten9668 Thank you for listening. Given that Arendt moved from German-speaking to French-speaking to English/American-speaking contexts, there are surely several ways of pronouncing her name.
Uli Baer I wish you and Bernstein would have discussed her association with the anti Semitic Nazi Heidegger whom she called “The secret King of thought.” She can excuse Eichmann by saying that he was no “thinker” but how can she dismiss her secret lover “Heidegger’s Jew hatred.” This is what you need to ponder not the tired question about “the banality of evil” or whether she was right about this or that point. Given what we know now about her secret relationship with Heidegger and about Heidegger’s secret Journals were over many years he wrote about his hatred of Jews. I always thought that when Heidegger attacked Plato and Aristotle he was also attacking Judaism with its invention of Monotheism. I write this as a non religious person.
Good observation to ponder.. I can't connect the last paragraph to the main theme though. Is attacking monotheism and also Judaism considered anti-semitism ?
BRAVO!!!
Amazing, "Stop and think" really summarizes the essence of her thoughts. Never thought that it was possible to concentrate her thoughts like that!
thank you for listening!
Thank you so much. From Chile
Gracias, gracias ,,, un gusto verlos compartir
Thank you for this amazing session, from Kenya with love.

Very sad that instead of Hannah being famous we have Jordan Peterson. 😵💫
Ain't THAT the truth!
Lol 😂 …elitist much?

Gracias mil

The answer's in your heart.
Perhaps b/c Hannah herself pronounced it as Ahrent - you know, the "Frenchy" way.
Oh, and the German word for eagle is adler, not Arendt.
@@vincentwalker2524 You are correct, it is the Dutch word for eagle, sorry.

That’s how common usage works…
