Charles Blatberg, Professor of political philosophy at the University of Montreal, dives deep into Hannah Arendt’s unique blend of aesthetics and politics. He explores Arendt's idea of natality and the significance of individual actions versus predictable behavior. The conversation also covers how art and politics can be appreciated for their own sake, rather than practical outcomes. They discuss the banality of evil through the lens of Eichmann's trial, prompting reflection on the nature of evil in modern society and the practical implications of Arendt’s ideas.
