Description

This third of three CD recordings of the Blücher Symposium, held at Bard College in 2003, focuses on the relationship and correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blücher. Panelists include Elizabeth Young-Bruehl, Arendt’s biographer, and Jerome “Jerry” Cohen, director of the Hannah Arendt Center at The New School, who engage in a dialogue about Blücher and Arendt’s shared philosophical views, mutual support, and the preservation of his lectures. Wolfgang Heuer of the Free University of Berlin reflects on Blücher as a “Socratic outsider.” Audience members also contribute questions and anecdotes. The discussion highlights Blücher’s Socratic teaching style and situates his intellectual and personal partnership with Arendt within broader philosophical and historical contexts.
