We are delighted to celebrate Professor Rathnam’s latest scholarly achievement. In the article, Professor Lindsay Mahon Rathnam argues that Herodotus is crucial to reconstructing Arendt’s theory of judgment, as well as her picture of the Greeks as a whole. Arendt’s reading of Herodotus, as Rathnam argues, is suggestive of her attempt to mediate Heidegger’s legacy- and where her reading goes off track, it’s due to Heidegger’s lingering influence on her conception of the Greeks.
Notably, the journal where Professor Rathnam appears is also the only academic journal Arendt herself ever published in. Read the article here: Saying What Is: Herodotus in Hannah Arendt’s Thought | The Review of Politics | Cambridge Core
Many congratulations to Lindsay on this remarkable achievement!
