Proud to partner with the Jewish Chronicle Hannah Arendt and Isaiah Berlin: The Feud
Kei Hiruta
Chair: Dennis Davis
For the first time, the full story of the conflict between two of the 20th century’s most important thinkers—and how their profound disagreements continue to offer important lessons for political theory and philosophy.
Hannah Arendt and Isaiah Berlin fundamentally disagreed on central issues in politics, history and philosophy, in spite of their overlapping lives and experiences as Jewish émigré intellectuals. Research Fellow in Philosophy at Oxford’s Wolfson College, Kei Hiruta discusses his acclaimed book with Judge Dennis Davis in this free online event in partnership with Lockdown University.
