  • 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.

    OUR COMMON REINVENTING AMERICAN PURPOSEDEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY COMMISSION ON THE PRACTICE OF DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best. The opinions I have had of its errors, I sacrifice to the public good. I have never whispered a syllable of them abroad. Within these walls they were born, and here they shall die. If every one of us in returning to our Constituents were to report the objections he has had to it, and endeavor to gain partizans in support of them, we might prevent its being generally received, and thereby lose all the salutary effects and great advantages resulting naturally in our favor among foreign Nations as well as among ourselves, from our real or apparent unanimity. —BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE COMMISSION ON THE PRACTICE OF DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP OUR COMMON REINVENTING AMERICAN PURPOSEDEMOCRACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY american academy of arts & sciences Cambridge, Massachusetts © 2020 by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences All rights reserved.

But we’re not talking politics. We’re talking about scale – and how the lessons he learned as President relate to any organization. But we’ll start our episode as we often do with a story related to the ground we’ll cover ... It’s a story from someone else, who definitely doesn’t mind being Obama’s opening act. 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. He thought Obama would lose if he used the song “I Got it from my Mama.” will.i.am: The original is me on a beach in Brazil with a bunch of models. That's not a recipe for success.

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.
