Hannah Arendt, Lectures On Political Theory - The Desert, Sandstorms, And Oases

This lecture focuses on the conclusion to Hannah Arendt's 1955 course lectures on the History of Political Theory, in which she uses the metaphor of the desert for our late modern condition. She also discusses the sandstorms of totalitarian movements, the lure of escapism, and four types of "oases" - Art, Philosophy, Friendship, and Love.
