DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 44% · why: lots of
  people going · easy to get to\n\nHannah Arendt — Lying in Politics\nWed 1
 2 August\nWritten in the immediate wake of the Pentagon Papers\, this is A
 rendt's diagnosis of how deception works in modern government - the system
 atic defactualisation of policy-makers who ended up believing their own st
 ories. She ties truth-telling to freedom - the same imaginative capacity t
 hat lets us lie is also what lets us act in the world and to change it. Th
 is 1971 paper is from the Vietnam era - will it cast any light on the poli
 tical lies surrounding more recent conflicts?\n\nWho are we?\nWe're a read
 ing group that welcomes all - young\, old\, completely new to philosophy o
 r well versed\, from keen students to those who've never darkened the door
  of a lecture room. We read both long & short texts\, but you don't need t
 o join at the very start of our longer reads - you can come along at any s
 tage of the journey. Our conversations are lively\, wide-ranging & respect
 ful.\n\nWe usually head to the pub to continue the discussion after our me
 etings.
