The monotheistic (a.k.a Abrahamic) movement is one of the most influential and widespread ideological phenomena in the world today. Ironically, the story of this massive superstructure of faith, myth, even diet has not yet been told. While many treatments can be found of Judaism, Christianity and Islam (to say nothing of the many subdivisions within each), the monotheistic movement as a whole has not yet received a grand narrative to match. A main reason for that is the outlandish proportions of the task involved. In his talk, Professor Amitay will propose a new methodological approach, and try to explain why a deeper understanding of Monotheism is both relevant and necessary.

Rendtorff investigates figures of banality of evil in corporations on the basis of Hannah Arendt's analysis of Eichmann as the stereotype of the obedient administrator. Additionally, Rendtorff looks at the interpretations of moral blindness in organizations of Bauman and Milgram and applies this to corporations and business organizations.

Lori Marso - Presenting her essay: Simone de Beauvoir and Hannah Arendt: Judgments in Dark Times - This essay returns to the most compelling case of judgment described by Hannah Arendt, that of Adolph Eichmann in Israel (1961), as well as the case of another Nazi war criminal, that of Robert Brasillach in France (1945), explored by Simone de Beauvoir. Providing political rather than juridical readings, Arendt and Beauvoir explore the problem of judging individuals as beings situated in a political order that seeks to eliminate certain forms of otherness and difference. Beauvoir’s insistence on bringing bodies into politics in her emphasis on the violation of human ambiguity implicitly critiques and complements Arendt’s naming of Eichmann’s crime as the attempt to violate worldly plurality.

"Linfield’s new book—The Cruel Radiance: Photography and Political Violence (University of Chicago Press)—is a beautifully considered and unabashedly impassioned plea for the continuing moral relevance of photojournalism. Writing in direct response to ever-increasing doubts about the truthfulness and ethical significance of photojournalism, Linfield offers a defense of photojournalism that honors the photographers without turning them into saints or their work into sacred icons. On the subject of photojournalism, both Galassi and Linfield might be said to be disabused optimists."--Jed Pearl, The New Republic

Bill T. Jones and Roger Berkowitz, The Life of the Mind and Floating the TongueIn her 1978 work, The Life of the Mind, thinker Hannah Arendt outlines the distinction between mental and physical activity and discusses the nature of consciousness. In the same era, Mr. Jones created Floating the Tongue, a solo improvisation that seeks to reveal the activity of the mind as the body moves, delving into the experience of consciousness. A live performance of this seminal work will be the touchstone for a discussion of the philosophy of thought, action, and consciousness as it relates to the world of art and the act of creating. Roger Berkowitz, Associate Professor of Political Studies and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Ethical and Political Thinking joined Mr. Jones for this discussion on December 1, 2010 in the Bard Fisher Center

Now Playing: “Earth Alienation from Galileo to Google”
In The Human Condition, Hannah Arendt distinguishes humans from animals by their ability to create artificial worlds. Without the power of artifice, humans would be at the mercy of nature, thus no different from animals. The problem that confronts man in the 20th and now 21st centuries, Arendt explains, is that we face the danger that we might so fully create and make our artificial world that we endanger that quality of human life which is subject to fate, nature, and chance. She names this danger earth alienation, which she argues has its beginnings with Gallileo's discovery of the telescope. In this talk, I explore the origin and meaning of earth alienation from Gallileo to Google.
