In the organizer's words:

Hannah Arendt saw herself more as an acting than a philosophizing being. This is undoubtedly an unusual trait for a thinker of her stature. Nevertheless, her biographer Thomas Meyer takes this self-characterization to heart. He makes the personal experiences comprehensible and reconstructs the practical and political contexts in which Arendt thought and wrote. Thomas Meyer will first introduce Hannah Arendt as a person - also from the perspective of her Jewishness - in a lecture. Afterwards, we will deepen our intellectual dialog with Arendt in a discussion.

Thomas Meyer is Professor of Philosophy at the LMU Munich and lives as a freelance author in Berlin.

Moderator: Dr. Susanne May

In cooperation with the Cultural Center of the Jewish Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria.
