This series will examine four distinct ways whereby the Other becomes a decisive philosophical event: as presence, as plurality, as ethical asymmetry, and as structural difference.
Each session focuses on one thinker and one conceptual pathway, presented by a brave member of our community—currently experiencing performance anxiety about presenting to a group of critical Others. But they have no need to worry, because Jedi Master Professor Steven Taubeneck will be on hand to answer the hard hard questions and prevent us from cheating, lying, fabricating, speculating, and bluffing.
This generic placeholder description will be updated once our courageous presenters send in their outlines. For now, mark your calendars, join the discussion, and prepare for a series that explores how twentieth-century thought reconceived relation, responsibility, and alterity at the deepest and most disquieting levels.

HANNA ARENDT (1906 – 1975)
Our FOURTH event in the Jewish Thinkers of Otherness series continues Jeff’s exploration of Hannah Arendt with a more experimental turn. Building on Part I, “Action, Plurality, and Judgment,” Part II will center on the Eichmann trial as a “trial of judgment” itself and ask, using experimental pedagogical methods, what it means to judge. Drawing especially on The Life of the Mind and the postscript to Arendt’s career, Jeff will shift from merely describing her ideas to actually enacting them by exploring how thinking becomes publicly answerable through dramaturgy, testimony, and the tension between spectacle and substance. Expect an outline in advance, a sharper structural map, and perhaps even Arendt “called to the stand.” The goal it to let the force of her thought be felt by us experientially right where we are sitting now.
