Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention.

Can you digger?

Greetings or listeners, this is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant podcast, brought to you by the

Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

It is Tuesday morning, March 31st.

I came downstairs to prep for this podcast. It was in the middle of Pete Hegseth or Chesty McBrosef giving a press conference about things going on in Iran and things are heating up. Trump has announced that he's going to pull, he may pull out of Iran without securing the Strait of Ormuz. So of course, I thought this was the perfect moment to do an episode on

who was Hanna Arendt? So in that vein, we have today as our guest, the Hana Arendt guy.

Roger Berkowitz is the founder and academic director of the Hana Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities

and a professor of politics, philosophy, and human rights at Bard College.

He is the author of The Gift of Science, Leibniz and the Modern Legal Tradition,

and he is a new book coming out this October, for which we may bring him back to discuss,

a world we share, Hana Arendt, and the power of friendship in a broken world.

Roger Berkowitz, welcome to the remit.

Jonah, it's a real pleasure to be here.

And so we will not do the standard question of what's your book about because it's not out yet.

And instead, we'll do the question for which this was billed. you just give us sort of brian land c span style who was hon aaron it's actually

an interesting question because you know sometimes you want to study aristotle and you say aristotle was

born he died now let's read the book honorent's life mattered she was born in 1906 in Hanover in Germany as a Jew. Both her parents

were Jews. Neither of them were observant. Her father died when she was six, which I think is a not

irrelevant factor because she was deeply influenced by a number of very strong male figures

in her life. But what she really was,

was a thinker. She's someone who started reading Plato and Aristotle in the Greek in high school.
