All the more arresting, are Arendt’s writings on education, fully expressed in her work, “Crisis in Education.” This article investigates Arendt’s understanding ofthe crisis and how natality, authority, and conserving what Arendt terms the “newcomer’s” revolutionary action through a nuanced view of the past, addresses that crisis. This article also considers a more comprehensive understanding of the newcomer’s revolutionary activity during educational experiences by analyzing Arendt’s views on tradition and the “pearl diver” metaphor described in her essay on Walter Benjamin. In exploring the impact Arendt’s thinking may have on education, educationists can have new hope in their quest for further theoretical and philosophical underpinnings for teaching and learning and enhance the vibrancy and meaningfulness of philosophy of education.  \nKeywords: natality, pearl diver, newcomer, authority, tradition, fragmented historiography  \nAlthough not strictly considered a philosopher of education, Hannah Arendt’s exhaustive work on political life and keen observations on the American democratic experience gave rise to a unique understanding of education elucidated in her chapter essay, “The Crisis in Education”(hereafter CE) published in Between Past and Future (1961) . While the main crisis is the dubious influence authority has in the modern world and specifically in education, Arendt offers readers several other ruminations about education worth noting. In this article, I first offer a brief description of Hannah Arendt’s life and work. Second, I present the major themes of Arendt’s teaching on education, those being natality, the teacher’s authority, and preserving, what Arendt calls the“newcomer’s” revolutionary or creative activity through the past. I then offer a fuller understanding of Arendt’s ideas about the creative aspects of students’ learning by drawing from her viewson tradition and her unique use of the “pearl diver” metaphor. In investigating these central ideas, an appreciation and understanding can be achieved of Arendt’s thinking on education, to include the challenges and opportunities these ideas pose for education today.  \nThe Life and Work of Hannah Arendt  \nHannah Arendt was born in 1906 in Hanover, Germany. Arendt studied classics, theology, and philosophy at the University of Berlin and attended graduate school at the University of Marburg under the noted philosopher, Martin Heidegger. As a doctoral student in Heidelberg, Arendt  \ncompleted her dissertation on St. Augustine’s idea of love under the existentialist philosopher, Karl Jaspers.1 Arendt’s initial interest and ultimate life’s work on the political, however, did notemerge until the rise of Hitler2 and then fully realized with the burning of the Reichstaag in 1933.3 With these tragic events, Arendt, along with many other German Jewish intellectuals at the time, emigrated to the United States.4 As an observer and participant in human affairs, Arendt worked in many diverse roles: newspaper writer, research manager, and senior editor. Arendt eventually took a position as a professor at the New School for Social Research until her death in 1975.5 Arendt’s various intellectual pursuits resulted in several acclaimed books such as The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), Men in Dark Times (1955), The Human Condition (1958), Between Past and Future (1961), Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), and The Life of the Mind (1978) published posthumously.6  \nPhilosophical Influences  \nArendt is considered one of the most impactful political theorists of the twentieth century.7 Arendt’s political theories were rooted in pre-Greek ","cbCaiuKxlRApye6L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuKxlRApye6L","pdf",281451,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Although Not Strictly Considered a Philosopher of Education\n# The Life and Work of Hannah Arendt\n# Philosophical Influences","[{\"question\":\"What educational crisis does Arendt address in “Crisis in Education” (CE)?\",\"answer\":\"The article presents the main crisis as the dubious influence of authority in the modern world, especially within education, while also noting additional concerns Arendt raises.\"},{\"question\":\"How does “natality” relate to Arendt’s teaching about education?\",\"answer\":\"The article treats natality as a central theme in Arendt’s educational teaching, connected to the “newcomer’s” revolutionary or creative activity and how education can enable this through engagement with the past.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the “pearl diver” metaphor function in the article’s interpretation of Arendt?\",\"answer\":\"The article uses Arendt’s “pearl diver” metaphor, discussed in relation to Walter Benjamin, to analyze Arendt’s view of tradition and to understand the creative aspects of students’ learning.\"}]","Natality, the Past, and the Pearl Diver - Exploring Hannah Arendt’s Educational Teaching | PDF",1792090316,38]
