On December 4, precisely 50 years have passed since Hannah Arendt died. Does the author of groundbreaking books specified as “The Roots of Totalitarianism” and “Eichmann in Jerusalem” aid us realize the present? Do the concepts that Arendt introduced or revised, specified as totalitarianism, human condition, “banality of evil” explain to us present the planet and social and political phenomena that we are observing?
Sylwia Góra – head of literary department – talks about this with Agata Bielik-Robson – a philosopher, prof. of the judaic Studies Department at the University of Nottingham, Institute of doctrine and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences; author of many books, including on the another side of nihilism: contemporary doctrine in search of an entity, Another modernity. Questions about the modern expression of spirituality, the spirit of the surface: romanticist revision and philosophy, In the desert. Cryptotheologies of Late Modernity, Spectre Derrida.
