"Soy sólo parte de ellos". Hannah Arendt, The Jewish Writings
Los textos que Hanna Arendt dedicó al judaísmo, alrededor de temas como la patria y el nacionalismo, la pertenencia cultural y la cuestión sobre las personas sin estado, constituyen más una exposición de paradojas que textos cerrados. Escéptica en lo que se refiere tanto al asimilacionismo como al sionismo, Arendt aboga por la secularización de la política mientras desmonta la lógica del estado-nación, ya que para ella la común historia de exilio y desposesión abre la vía para la unión de judíos y palestinos, de inmigrantes y apátridas, abriendo el camino al pensamiento judío respecto al concepto de justicia
A Livable Life? An Inhabitable World? Scheler on the Tragic
The question of what makes a life livable is linked with the question, what makes for an inhabitable world.

The answer lies less in individual conduct or practice than in the forms of solidarity that emerge, across whatever distance, to produce the conditions for inhabiting the world.

Embodying life-long learning: Transition and capstone experiences
This paper discusses the principle of Transition as it has been conceptualised by the Curriculum Renewal in Legal Education project. The project sought to develop a principled framework for renewing the final year of tertiary legal education in Australia. Capstone experiences were chosen as the most appropriate mechanism for assisting final year students to manage the transition process. Thoughtfully designed capstones assist students to integrate and synthesize their learning over their entire degree program, facilitate closure on the undergraduate experience, and assist students to transition from student to emerging professional. We discuss the importance of addressing final year students’ transitional needs and explain how the principle facilitates this process. Although the framework has been developed specifically for legal education in Australia its approach enables transferability across disciplines and institutions. The framework addresses criticisms that universities and law schools are not meeting the needs of final year students by preparing them for the transition to graduate life in a complex and uncertain world
