How does politics begin anew? In his talk, political philosopher Facundo Vega examines the strengths and limitations of Hannah Arendt\u2019s account of \u201cbeginnings\u201d. Vega shows how Arendt\u2019s reflections on \u201cthe beginning\u201d attempt to avoid theories of pure spontaneity, great-event history, and historical contingency, arguing instead that, for Arendt, beginnings are ultimately dependent on what she calls \u201cthe principle of beginning\u201d. The talk excavates this principle of beginning in Arendt\u2019s work, showing its curious an-archic features and revealing how it can be a powerful tool for calling into question certain myths of contemporary politics, such as the charismatic populist leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-sponsored by the Max Kade Center for Modern German Thought<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Monday,
