O artigo examina o alcance intelectual do curso de pós-graduação ministrado por Hannah Arendt na Universidade de Cornell, nos Estados Unidos, no semestre do outono de 1965, intitulado "Political experiences in the twentieth century". Baseia-se nos meus próprios apontamentos como seu aluno em Cornell e nos roteiros preparados por Hannah Arendt para ministrar o curso, que estão guardados nos seus papéis na Biblioteca do Congresso dos Estados Unidos. Indica, com base na documentação contida na Biblioteca do Congresso, as convergências desse curso com o ministrado anteriormente, em 1955, na Universidade da Califórnia e, subseqüentemente, em 1968, na New School for Social Research. Explora como esses cursos contribuem para a compreensão da importância por ela atribuída, na sua obra, à experiência, à narração, à ação, à imaginação e ao juízo reflexivo, que são componentes da maior relevância na configuração da originalidade do percurso intelectual de Hannah Arendt e que dela fazem uma das grandes pensadoras do século XX.

The Core

Abstract When Hannah Arendt delivered her Lectures on Kant’s Political Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in 1970, she held a seminar on Kant’s Critique of Judgment to explore aspects of her lecture course in greater detail. This essay probes Arendt’s seminar notes with an eye to the concept of ‘exemplary validity,’ which is at the core of her theory of judgment. Notably, her analysis repeatedly draws on the force of examples, that is, the force of ‘exemplary validity.’ Her theorization of judgment, itself inevitably subject to her own judgment, can be understood as an enactment of and commentary on the very matter she discusses. It is not by chance but rather symptomatic that her argumentation is permeated by strategically placed examples that seek to persuade us by dint of their exemplary validity.

Dawid Wdowiński (1895–1970) należał do najbardziej znanych działaczy rewizjonistycznego ruchu syjonistycznego w Polsce w latach trzydziestych. Cieszył się renomą również jako psychoanalityk (pełnił kierowniczą funkcję na oddziale psychiatrycznym w szpitalu na Czystem w Warszawie). Jako jedyny spośród „żabotyńczyków” został wymieniony w leksykonie Czy wiesz kto to jest?. W wrześniu 1939 r., w przeciwieństwie do innych liderów ruchu rewizjonistycznego, pozostał w Warszawie. Trafił do getta (w którym stracił matkę), po deportacji znalazł się w obozie pracy w Budzyniu, a potem w innych obozach (jego żona, dr med. Antonina z d. Berger, zginęła w listopadzie 1943 r., podczas operacji „Erntefest”). Po wojnie osiadł w Nowym Jorku i przez wiele lat wykładał psychologię i psychiatrię w New School for Social Research. Kontynuował też działalność społeczno-polityczną. W 1961 r. został wezwany przez sąd izraelski do złożenia zeznań na procesie Adolfa Eichmanna

The Committee on Historical Studies was established in the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in 1984. The Graduate Faculty has long emphasized the contribution of history to the social sciences. Committee on Historical Studies (CHS) courses offer students the opportunity to utilize social scientific concepts and theories in the study of the past. The program is based on the conviction that the world changes constantly but changes systematically, with each historical moment setting the opportunities and limiting the potentialities of the next. Systematic historical analysis, however, is not merely a diverting luxury. Nor is it simply a means of assembling cases for present-oriented models of human behavior. It is a prerequisite to any sound understanding of processes of change and of structures large or small.

Totalitarian Regime

If we wish to understand a totalitarian system as a whole, we need first to understand the central role of the concentration camp as a laboratorium to experiment in total domination. Arendt’s analysis of totalitarianism in the twentieth century shows how a totalitarian regime cannot survive without terror; and terror will not be effective without concentration camps. Experiments in concentration camps had as their purpose, apart from wiping out any freedom or spontaneity, the abolishing of space between human beings, abolishing space for politics. Thus, totalitarianism did not mirror only the politics of extinction, but also the extinction of politics. As a way forward, Arendt analyses political theory that forces the reader to understand power no longer under the rubric of domination or violence – although this avenue is open – but rather under the rubric of freedom. Arendt is convinced that the life of a destroyed nation can be restored by mutual forgiveness and mutual promises, two abilities rooted in action. Political action, as with other acts, is identical with the ability to commence something new.

Art historian Meyer Schapiro was born in Šiauliai [Shavley], Lithuania, on September 23, 1904, but soon immigrated to the United States with his family in 1907. Schapiro grew up in the working-class, left wing, Jewish immigrant neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn. He graduated from Columbia University with a Ph.D. in fine arts and archaeology in 1935 (having completed his dissertation in 1929). He spent his career at Columbia, though he also taught regularly at the New School for Social Research from 1936 until 1952. While trained as a medievalist, Schapiro was an early proponent of modern art, and over the course of his career he taught courses, lectured, and published on both fields. Through his lectures and publications, Schapiro’s ideas shaped several generations of artists and art historians. Though he published several books including those on Post-Impressionist artists Paul Cézanne (1950) and Vincent van Gogh (1952), his most respected ideas on both medieval and modern topics were published in articles. Schapiro is known for his innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to art history; he explored new art historical methodologies through the use of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and semiotics. He is also known for his essay "Style" (1953), a systematic consideration of past and current theories of style.
