It is an Eastern European tradition to find joy in darkness. It is one that arose out of necessity and in turn flourished as a kind of mindset. This mindset comes through in the psyche of the inhabitants of the Late Cold War period, particularly those living in the United States, the Soviet Union, and its Satellite Nations.

  • 41 Novak.Pm7
    Bruce Novak 253 No Child Left Behind, Or Each Human Person Drawn Forward? Arendt, Jaspers, and the Thinking-Through of a New, Universalizable Existential–Cosmopolitan Humanism Bruce Novak Truman College The thinking of Hannah Arendt has in recent years become quite prominent in the field of philosophy of education, and in educational thinking more generally. Yet it has to be said that Arendt’s influence to this point has been more to provide us with a number of stimulating ideas about education than to provide a coherent under- standing of the nature and importance of education in human life. I suggest here that we can begin to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of Arendt’s educational thought once we see how it follows from and is in constant dialogue with the educational thinking of Karl Jaspers — her personal and philosophical mentor for forty years. I trace this influence by following the course of the four essays Arendt wrote in the 1940s and 1950s about her teacher and his work, using them to interpret her writings on education — both the much-discussed essay “The Crisis in Education” of 1958, and her last, uncompleted book, The Life of the Mind, largely undiscussed in our circles, though it contains her final and most complete vision of education. And I will argue that in the latter work Arendt saw her task as laying the ground for a certain kind of universalizable philosophical education that would, in turn, lay the ground for the establishment of more thoughtful, less banal forms of democratic political life. Most importantly, I argue that understanding together the philosophical, politi- cal, and educational implications of Arendt’s and Jaspers’s thought could help lead us to formulate a philosophical framework for a truly democratic educational policy.

And it starts with a phone call. will.i.am: Someone calls me and says, "Hey, your song, I Got It From My Mama, we want to borrow that and turn it into I'm Voting For Obama." And I said, “Nah, no, no, no, no, you guys can't do that. He's definitely going to lose.” HOFFMAN: That is will.i.am. Grammy Award-winning artist, co-founder of the Black Eyed Peas. Will also created the “Yes we can” video for Obama that went viral. But when he first got the call? It was a hard “No.” To be clear, Will didn’t say “no” because he thought Obama would lose.

One late winter weekend, Greg happened to drive by the Metro, a legendary Chicago music venue, and saw a line of kids that stretched down the block. What made the scene unusual wasn’t just the crowd—it was what they were waiting for: the marquee read, “Louder Than a Bomb Youth Poetry Slam Finals.” Teenagers, hundreds of them, of every shape, size, and color, lined up on a Saturday night to see poetry? In Chicago!? Whatever this thing is, it must be interesting. The more we saw, the more convinced we became that, in fact, it was. There was the LTAB community—a remarkable combination of democracy and meritocracy, where everyone’s voice is respected, but the kids all know who can really bring it. There were the performances themselves—bold, brave, and often searingly memorable. And there were the coaches, teachers, and parents, whose tireless support would become a quietly inspiring thread throughout the film.
