We discussed: The Public and Private Realm | First Part
WHO IS HANNAH ARENDT?
Hannah Arendt was a humanist thinker who thought boldly and provocatively about our shared political and ethical world. Inspired by philosophy, she warned against the political dangers of philosophy to abstract and obfuscate the plurality and reality of our shared world. She fiercely defended the importance of the public sphere, but she was also intensely private and defended the importance of privacy and solitude as prerequisites for a life in public. Embraced by liberals and conservatives, she also enraged and engaged interlocutors from all political persuasions.
WHAT IS THE VIRTUAL READING GROUP?
The Virtual Reading Group is an online, scholarly, collaborative exploration of the works of Hannah Arendt. During the coronavirus pandemic, the VRG, as we call it, has grown with new members from around the world. We gather to talk and to listen while closely reading texts on issues like totalitarianism, democracy, privacy, extremism, and the importance of public spaces for debate and resolution.
The VRG is hosted by the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, the world's most expansive home for bold and risky humanities thinking about our political world inspired by the spirit of Hannah Arendt, the leading thinker of politics and active citizenship in the modern era.

this is fascinating, thank you!
Kvam, thank you. It is not illegal to hire people for poverty wages nor illegal to work for poverty wages, yet when one needs to eat who works for poverty wages they often apply for food stamps, thus; these people are vilified for doing what they need to do to eat so they may keep themselves alive in order to get to the job that keeps them in such low poverty that they don't have the income to buy food. Yet the employer who causes this poverty is not vilified.
"Political realm is necessarily difference btw the other realms of society " - their is a strong distinction btw the private sphere nd personal sphere - Plato while doesn't believe in the distinction btw the public nd private sphere - the Aristotle understood the difference btw the public nd private sphere - Plato is totalitarian in his approach while the Aristotle is not an totalitarian in his approach he gives a Rome for realm of freedom for human - political realm is necessary bcoz it makes the world more beautiful - men is politically - bios political - needed to be seen nd not be hidden - men needs to be plural rather than authority nd superiority - action of speech nd freedom Vs violence
In regard to the question about meaning. Hannah believed that meaningful action and speech are the vehicle for or are “natality”, finding meaning in a narrative including actions that will increase ones odds to be remembered by the public as well as e private sphere. In other words, natality, the human urge to be remembered beyond one’s death, it the driving force of human speech and action in the public realm. They want to be remembered beyond their inevitable death.
Shocking news! Native people have and continue to accomplish and contribute to America, Humanity and the World. Nearly all peoples (groups) of the world have experienced oppression. This discussion is what freedom is. There is Fascist behavior in this country. It is not a Fascist country.
