Working Group Session #2 Saturday 6th April, 3pm-6pm, followed by drinks
Continue reading the text aloud and discussion.
How can we work with human differences found in a shared space, and so discover mutual support and action? How does action for the public good emerge from differences in sociality, politics, or class? The simultaneous recognition of difference and the common was a major part of the work of thinker Hannah Arendt.
Fred’s work at the Field, following visits in 2015 and 2016, will explore new ways of thinking of the common, and show how difference and the common depend on each protecting the other. The opening talk, followed by a three-session group reading of Hannah Arendt’s “The Public Realm: The Common”, from Arendt’s The Human Condition, are open to all.
No prior experience with the thinker, advance knowledge, or concurrent reading is necessary. All educational levels are welcome. We invite people from diverse backgrounds (in experience, class, gender, sexuality, politics, skin color, birth place, legal status etc.) to participate in the Field’s mission
