We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience | Lyndsey Stonebridge

Terrific introductory chapter to this highly relevant guide to Arendt‘s thinking/political philosophy. I appreciate the fact Stonebridge recognizes Arendt wasn‘t perfect and we are a work in progress with effort.

The end of the first chapter left me thinking about the new admin “eyeing new immigrant detention centers outside major US cities.” Same scapegoating, different target. #resistance @kspenmoll

Hope In The Dark | Rebecca Solnit

Currently i am reading An Altar in the World, which I started before the election. I read Hope in the Dark in 2016 & now plan to reread. Arendt‘s book is new to me.

Suet624 I was shocked to find that the Burlington library had it on the shelf. I put a hold on it. 2w

Bookwormjillk I‘ll see if I can find it. 2w

kspenmoll @Suet624 So glad it‘s there. Do you know what #in line you are? 2w

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie @Tamra @Chrissyreadit @Cuilin @suet624. Let me know if interested in a low key buddy read. If your library does not have it, it is available on kindle & as an audiobook, less $ than the hardcover. 2w

Tamra @kspenmoll I‘m picking up my copy tomorrow from an Indie. 😄👏🏾 Thank you for the recommendation! 2w

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll let me check! 2w

TheBookHippie Put it on hold no one was waiting! 2w

Suet624 It‘s currently on hold for me. No one else was reading it. I‘ll pick it up on Thursday. 2w

Cuilin Love a buddy read. I put it on hold at my library. I should be able to pick it up Tuesday. #resistance (edited) 2w

BookmarkTavern Love Hope in the Dark! Thanks for sharing! 1w

Chrissyreadit i am not able to get through library and used copies are pretty high- so i may have to wait on this unfortunately. 1w

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit we could read it in the new year… I‘m going to need time to get my hands on a copy. It‘s not too bad on Apple Books. 1w

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics sounds like a plan 1w
