This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on the conclusion to Hannah Arendt's 1955 course lectures on the History of Political Theory, in which she uses the metaphor of the desert for our late modern condition. She also discusses the sandstorms of totalitarian movements, the lure of escapism, and four types of "oases" - Art, Philosophy, Friendship, and Love.

Thus is why the contemporary should be open to psychoanalysis and its focus on free association. Behavioral methods are more in alignment with an implantation - where the client is sold on being happy to forget about the obvious ills of material existence.
I'd avoid such sweeping generalizations about entire schools and modalities, myself
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Does anyone know where this could be found in a pdf form?
Looks like the original site where I found it is down. Email me (look it up on my channel About), and I'll send you a copy of the PDF I made for my students
Is the desert Ardent is referring to comparable to T. S. Eliot’s idea of the Wasteland?
Kinda, I suppose.
Can't it be suggested that the 'desert' benefits a lot of individuals, whether that's from the framework of the top of the capitalist ladder, to those who profit from our need to consume....
The desert therefore has been 'constructed' surely. Or rather is Nietzsche's idea of the desert different, because he's saying the desert is more of an existential yearning within us?
Or like a barren emptiness? that perhaps we all feel, or relate too....
Arendt doesn't buy into some massive conspiracy theory about why the world is as it is.
But pretty much anything can be suggested.
What is wrong with wikipedia?
