🧠 Hannah Arendt on In Our Time
First broadcast in 2017, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt — from her response to 20th-century totalitarianism to her famous idea of “the banality of evil.”
🎧 Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0m4gt2v
Arendt’s thought remains unsettling, urgent, and deeply relevant today:
▫️ How politics can collapse into authoritarianism
▫️ What it means to live a better political life
▫️ Why ordinary people can become complicit in extraordinary crimes
