Hannah Arendt identifies the onset of genocide under the Nazi regime with the declaration that ‘the German people not only were unwilling to have any Jews in Germany, but wished to make the entire Jewish people disappear from the face of the earth.’1 Arendt famously, and unpopularly, contended that the crime was a crime against humanity, perpetrated upon the body of the Jewish people.2 Eichmann...

Principles of Citizenship Education Based on Hannah Arendt’s Philosophy M. Khezri Aghdam S.M. Sajjaadi, Ph.D. A. Manoochehri, Ph.D. A.R. Saadeghzaadeh Ghamsari, Ph.D. Citizenship education, like education in general, has its philosophical foundations, and curriculum planners need to be familiar with these philosophies in order to do their job well. Among such philos...

In this essay, we aim to present some reflections we covered while dwelling on Hannah Arendt’s thought. Our major goal is to highlight points that allow us to propose considerations on the relation between the self and the world, or yet between ethics and politics, once we assume as background Arendt’s statement (2005a) on “The Crisis in Education” affirming the educator would have to assume re...

In this paper we present Lyapunov based proofs for the well-known Arendt-Batty-Lyubich-Vũ Theorem for strongly continuous and discrete semigroups. We also study the spectral properties of the limit isometric groups used in the proofs.

—We collected observational data in three consecutive breeding seasons to study interactions between the botfly Philornis seguyi and Red-crested Cardinals (Paroaria coronata) in a temperate zone near the southern limit of Philornis distribution. We analyzed: (1) seasonal trends in prevalence of parasitism, (2) influence of botfly parasitism on nestling growth rate and survival, and (3) the asso...

A class of [r]-semigroups, extending the class of smooth distribution semigroups of Balabane and Emami-Rad, is introduced. Relations with integrated semigroups of Arendt are given as well as a generalization of deLaubenfels and Jazar’s result on relations between smooth semispectral distributions and integrated semigroups.
