Chair: Glyn Davis

When asked about the impact and legacy of her work, Hannah Arendt responded: “If I may speak ironically, that’s a masculine question. Men always want to be influential... I want to understand.“ Samantha Rose Hill’s rich biographical study of Arendt is an attempt to understand one of the most renowned thinkers of the 20th century and her own relentless quest for understanding. In conversation with Professor Glyn Davis AC, renowned philosopher and bioethicist Peter Singer will join Hill to consider Arendt’s “radical openness“ and influential oeuvre.
