Description
This second recording of three CDs of the Blücher Symposium, held at Bard College in 2003, captures a panel discussion on the life, teaching, and influence of philosopher Heinrich Blücher. Jeffrey Katz, Director of the Stevenson Library at Bard College, serves as master of ceremonies and introduces the panelists.
Panelists include Jack Blum ’62, who compares Blücher’s teaching method to that of Socrates; Professor Peter Skiff, a longtime colleague, who reflects on Blücher’s influence on students during the Vietnam era; and Elizabeth Young-Bruehl, biographer of Hannah Arendt, who discusses insights from Blücher’s correspondence with Arendt. The discussion highlights Blücher’s Socratic approach, emphasis on critical thinking, and lasting impact on education at Bard College.
