Between Past and Future: Eight Exercises in Political Thought by Jerome Kohn, Hannah Arendt

5.0

Eight essays to grapple with a master of erudition. Arendt is a giant and knows the western history of knowledge deeply, more specifically Ancient Greece, Augustine, Kant. She saw Western Culture, inverted commas, lay defeated to the ground together with the western colonialist project. This book was a challenge for me, it required a deep level of concentration and big gulps of air. The title refers to the gap between past and future which is filled with ritual, tradition, and culture. I must read more of her books.
