Topical Essays: "Truth and Politics" by Hannah Arendt
Topical Essays is a monthly series of seminars based upon essays whose topics include philosophy, the arts and literature, science, politics, economics communications, and much more. Participants are asked to read an essay chosen by the facilitation team and then submit a written response in advance of each session. In the group meeting, we have a lively discussion on the posted piece and on the participants’ responses to it.
