This is my introduction and overview for the course I am teaching this spring. I offer a brief summary of the learning process we are undertaking. I also make an presentation of the philosophical context for this course, which located in the work of Hannah Arendt on thinking and the banality of evil. I offer an anecdote of yesterday's bizarre experience at Hofstra as a example of what Arendt calls 'thoughtlessness' or 'behavior' when I recount the removal of three students from my undergraduate philosophy of education course.
February 13, 2014 was the 10th anniversary of the original experiment that produced 363 phenomenological mediations, published as 'Being and Learning' (Brill: 2012). Each day between Feb 2014-15, I returned to the original meditations, and my commentary is documented here. And then, again, on February 15, 2024, on the 20th anniversary of the first days of the original experiment, I revisit and comment on a daily basis, once again.
