In this talk, Dr. Elizabeth Minnich, author

Importance of Thinking, reflects upon a question that
Hannah Arendt posed after studying a man who
committed crimes against humanity: Could it be
that an inability to think and a radical failure of what
we commonly call conscience coincide? In light of that
question, Minnich, an award-winning author, argues
for the critical importance of a liberal education."
