But amidst the chaos, a group of brilliant philosophers — including Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Jean Amery — were asking a radical question: What does it mean to resist? Professor Benjamin Berger leads this three-session exploration into the strategies and ideologies used to counter oppressive regimes. Discover how these thinkers defined justice in a moment of crisis and what their lessons can teach us about resistance today.
