The event continues the book launch at UT Dallas in September. Focus is on the conversation with the volume’s editors, Annette Vowinckel, Elena Stingl, Christian Pischel, and Hanno Berger. They will discuss advantages of a critical edition, differences between this new edition and earlier ones, and new possibilities for analyzing and interpreting Arendt’s work.
