Caroline Lion: Hannah Arendt's Worst Nightmare
Recorded on September 7, 2019.
Caroline Lion is a PhD research student at the Shakespeare Institute under the supervision of Ewan Fernie. Conferences at which she has participated include Shakespeare and Presentism (Kingston and UNLV, 2018), Shakespeare and Philosophy (Royal Holloway, 2018) and soon (October 2019) the Blackfriar’s Conference at the American Shakespeare Center. Her rabbinic training includes the Academy of the Jewish Religion/Los Angeles as well as the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem and her rabbinic teachings have been published in the weekly online journal DovrayTorah. She has been an instructor at the University of Birmingham and at Southern Oregon University. Once the literary manager of the award-winning Magic Theater in San Francisco, Caroline’s fiction and plays have received notable endorsements. She lives in Stratford upon Avon and flies to Ashland, Oregon in the fall to teach classes, do research and to be with family and friends. Her thesis is titled Beyond Violence: “The Merchant of Venice”.
Built in 1756, this striking little octagonal building and its 18th century pleasure-garden setting were restored in 1998/99 by the Garrick's Temple Partnership Project, funded in part by a Heritage Lottery grant and donations from a range of other organisations and individuals. The renowned actor-manager, David Garrick, built the Temple to celebrate the genius of William Shakespeare, commissioning the sculptor Roubiliac to provide a life-size statue of his hero to be placed inside. The recent restoration reinstates the statue in replica and also houses a display which celebrates David Garrick's acting career and his private life in Hampton. Garrick’s Lawn is the name of the garden on the Thames that surrounds Garrick’s Temple to Shakespeare. Although there is no official record to prove it, it is widely believed that Lancelot “Capability” Brown advised David Garrick on how best to lay out the grounds of Garrick’s Villa.

The Kingston Shakespeare Seminar has been created to realize the director Sir Peter Hall’s vision for the Rose Theatre, Kingston-upon-Thames as a world centre for Shakespeare study and performance.
KiSS brings leading international Shakespeare scholars to the Rose, which Sir Peter Hall developed to be a ‘teaching theatre’. Here Sir Peter directed Dame Judi Dench in a celebrated production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. More recently, Trevor Nunn directed the John Barton and Peter Hall adaptation The Wars of The Roses at the Rose. But KiSS also commemorates Kingston’s historic connection with Shakespeare, which goes back to David Garrick - who lived here, and built the beautiful Shakespeare Temple beside the Thames - and to the first performances of some of Shakespeare’s greatest plays at nearby Hampton Court Palace.
David Garrick built his Shakespeare Temple as a place where ‘the thinkers of the world’ would meet to reflect on the plays. He hoped Voltaire would come. Now the Kingston Shakespeare Seminar is realising the great actor’s vision, with this series of symposia on Shakespeare in Philosophy.

Margaret McGowan explores a concept coined by Frances Yates: phantom of empire.

However, empire seemed an impossibility in that time - a thing consigned to the past - but as an idea it had a haunting presence. McGowan analyses imperial representations and violent imag...

KiSSiT: Shakespeare and the State of Exception
Did Catherine Belsey take the Covid vaccine before she suffered a deadly stroke? Perhaps someone knows the answer.
Brilliant lecture on Giordano Bruno - restoring him to a scientific (if sometimes wildly speculative) philosophy - and really not an occultist or magician of dark arts. It's a pity he made the mistake of going back to Italy - perhaps he just didn't feel at home in France, England, or other parts of Europe - perhaps only Italy (at the time) offered a place where the leading edge of intellectual thought could be found?
Miss Yates bias. *Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition page 274* _“His peculiar point of view liberated him from the scruples of Christian Hermetists in their approach to Hermetic liturgy, and allowed him to choose out the more Pantheist and optimistic treatises of the _*_Corpus Hermeticum_*_ ……_ Ibid “It also allowed him to accept unchristian doctrines, which had been carefully avoided by the Christian Hermetists, for example Metempsychosis (to be found particularly in the *Asclepius* and in the Corpus Hermeticum X40) which Bruno openly accepts in his _Caballo del Pegaseo_ ….. A careful study of Scripture proves Metempsychosis as an acceptable doctrine in very early Christianity and that many texts lead to the discovery of Pantheism especially in St John's Gospel, Geza Vermes makes a point in describing *This state of “being in” or “dwelling in” or “abiding in” someone entails assimilation or absorption and recalls the image of eating and digesting the flesh and blood of Jesus* (John 6:56). In modern religion-philosophical terminology we are faced with here, if not a _pantheistic,_ at least a restricted _panentheistic_ world in which Father, Son and the believers of all the ages reside in one another_ Geza Vermes *The changing Face of Jesus* pages 46-47. Very interesting reading. The Council of Trent clashes with any form of Hermeticism yet I agree when the Catholic Church sees something it can use it becomes *Catholic Teaching* the Hermetic Tradition teaches a doctrine of *Revelation* and the Council of Trent is adamant in teaching that it endorses the *Deposit of Faith* which stipulates *No further revelation is necessary* this means that if anyone were to be given a revelation as stated in the Gospel of John in chapters 14 and 16 that person may be considered *Anathema* by the Church, he would be considered another Arius, because the Spirit of Truth is God the Son and this conflicts which church teaching where they say “Jesus saves” but in order for someone to be saved Jesus Christ would have to Judge this is not his privelidge it is God the Son's, neither Jesus nor God the Father judge. Neither does the Church *Save* it's role is to distribute the sacraments. Yet when someone is judged while they live the Hermetic world is open to them providing they can say *I know whence I have come* the Spirit of Truth furnishes the *I know whither I go* because such an experience is progenitive and eschatological a man sees himself in the womb in the mind of God and as a child of God being liberated from the body. Today the Church teaches about Resurrection of the body as though it is a far off event that we cannot aspire too, only Jesus Christ and Mary are certainties, yet Jesus teaches the resurrection of the Queen of Sheba which is hidden away from Christianity, she lived 900 years before Jesus and Jesus correctly teaches that she will *Arise* at the judgement of those Jewish hecklers, it takes a thousand years for someone to reach their own Resurrection and Jesus tells us all that the people whom he is speaking to will be judged in the late first century a. d. Resurrections are a constant and continually happening part of Eschatology. Bruno knows his salvation is not through the Catholic Church but so long as he understands the position of the Son of God is a barrier to the *Beatific Vision* and why, we will see him in Paradise, I hope so anyway.
What an awful lecture!! What a condescending and patronizing way of talking about Bruno and Yates. Giordano Bruno chose to die at the stake to illuminate the minds and hearts of the human race, and this man has the temerity to reduce Bruno's ideas to ashes by saying that "all Bruno wanted was a salary at a university"???? The fact that this institute publishes lectures of such low intellectual and human level is astonishing to me!! I guess it wasn't enough for them to know that Bruno was burnt at the stake. They needed to also burn Bruno's beautifully poetic and fascinating ideas at the stake of their own ignorance and pettiness and throw Yates' deep and thoughtful research under the bus, as well, while they were at it. First, the "lecturer" assumes that he KNOWS what Bruno meant to explain in his deep and complex writings, instead of simply and humbly saying, "this is my interpretation", and leave it at that. Second, he trashes Yates' hard, meticulous, vast, and beautifully poetic interpretation of Bruno without adding anything of value, only the ugliness of his ignorance and his arrogance. On top of that, this man has the temerity to say that "all Bruno wanted was a job as a professor at a university" What???? To me it is obvious that this man just projected his own pettiness onto Bruno's greatness with total impudence and impunity!! How awful!! Disrespectful and disgusting doesn't even begin to describe it!!
federal reserve or satanic con job?
Democrat. Stuff Shirts now talk when she is gone!
Cherry picking and distortion. Read any of Bruno in translation, he definitely believed in the heavens having an influence, and magus means magus to him.
Remarkable lecture.
Thought it had closed down years ago 🤷♂️
Shame you rushed through the lecture, you think you could speed it up a bit more? Sarcasm mine....
Can’t stop
Bruno wrote one of the best books on magic ever written, available on youtube as an audiobook, he was highly influential to occultists during his life and ever since... to understand memory as magic, understand theurgy and anamnesis, Brunos ideas* on images, as talismanic of memory, and even the Ars Notoria of Solominic grimoires etc etc... . Boo!
Having a hard time following his theme. He doesn’t use his 30 minutes well IMO as I’m missing the point. He’s trashing Yates and in a way Bruno. As another commentator remarks, astrology is concerned with celestial correspondence not influence. Recommend he read Rick Tarnas ASAP. I am reminded of Wouter Hanegraaf at the University of Amsterdam. Both he and this presenter are trashing the irrational more than helping to explain it. So much for the unbiased study of Esotericism at the Warburg Institute...
If you've been on a sort of mythological, cosmogonical/ theological syncretic quest for a little bit, the video was very understandable. You do need to be familiar with a few thoughts from antiquity yes, from what I would call sacred text, or sacred philosophy.
Wonderful lecture, thank you.
I think that when Bruno says he comes to a conclusion, he is speaking in the sense of concluding the argument from that point of view, not necessarily holding that view himself. I think that Bruno was saying that if one followed the argument as he had laid it out, then they would think that someone is a fool for thinking that the moon effects the tides, when in reality they would be a fool to think otherwise. Just a possible interpretation
Giordano is a hero without any context. His act is heroic. Does not matter for what idea and against whom🔥
totally agree with you is a shame that even 2023 is not adersdudd

yates fabricated the hermetic tradition
This is a very important video that clearly demonstrates the equality of the sexes in original Hermetic teachings and that renaissance women were leading Hermetic groups and fighting hard against misogynistic and confused thinkers of the time.
Thank you very much for this video. This is a very, very important area of work for the Hermetic tradition.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for this fascinating video.
Thanks for uploading this
This teacher inspires me !
Most astrologers do not believe in celestial influence, but, like Bruno, in correspondence. "Lull's Tractatus de astronomia (1297) in which he works out a theory and practice of astral medicine... is preceded by a diatribe 'against astrology', from which Lull scholars of the past used to deduce (without reading the treatise) that Lull had discarded the astrological world view. Careful reading of the treatise reveals that it describes an astral medicine, based on belief in elemental qualities in the seven planets and the twelve signs, and their connection with terrestrial elements. This is a scientific use of a universally held theory of astral correspondences. It is not astrology in the sense of horoscope-making with its assumption of astrological determinism which Lull is 'against'. In fact it is a kind of scientific escape from such determinism. In almost exactly the same way, two hundred years later, Pico della Mirandola was to pronounce himself 'against astrology', meaning that he was against astrological determinism whilst accepting those astral correspondences which underlie 'Renaissance Neoplatonism' as he and Ficino understood it." - Frances Yates, Medieval Christian Cabala: The Art of Ramon Lull, from: The Occult Philosophy of The Elizabethan Age

thanks!!
Timo , Your forgiveness is -I suppose - a clever Conspiracy Strategy! Great!
Sorry Timo, it's beyond my poor intellectual capacity, to understand your outstanding commentary about my not so clever strategy.- Be it as it is!
bastian conrad I may forgive you in your late years for not being able to see beyond your intellectual horizon.
There is no question about the Genius of Shakespeare, but wether William from Stratford was this historical literary genius.- You may forgive Sir Stanley, that in his late years he is no longer able to look beyond his own horizon. th-cam.com/video/Z7VeQ7OER14/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Oi7nFkhbDjM/w-d-xo.html
Or perhaps his many years of study is able to see through the conjecture of conspiracy theorists.
@Timo Uotinen: at least bastian left some references. Citing the term "conspiracy theory" without any logical argument is not a clever strategy.
alpw1234 well, what I am referring to is the first video acknowledging that the theory it is suggesting is considered 'conspiracy ideology'. So my strategy was referring the video to itself.
I felt Yates made it abundantly clear that Bruno was a thinker on his own terms. I thought she related to him in the Hermetic tradition book in no overly presumptuous way, as a complex personality; a poet, searcher, philosopher, and yes, maybe sometimes a little too often as a magus; but those influences were obviously there as well. I enjoyed her book very much.
