And now what? Is a political theory podcast, providing you with fresh ideas, perspectives and questions to understand our world. It is made by me, Ulrike,a passionate political scientist and teacher from Berlin. I enjoy political theory because each new thinker, each new idea, each new question is the promise of a new perspective, better answers and fresh understandings. Come along with me for the ride and I hope you enjoy. More information on the episodes, reading and listening suggestions go to

Vaclav Havel and living in truth

And now what? Doing Political Theory ·

2025/06/16

This is the second episode focusing on truth, and it takes a rather different route than the last oneon hannah Arendt. Vaclav Havel, also, isn't a typical theorist but certainly a very political thinker. His take on truth really approaches the question of how to live under circumstances that just seem wrong and how to maybe find the cracks that will eventually open new possibilities. And Havel speaks from experience. Find links to the original text, that I talk about, and more on the episode

Truth is a beast of a concept. There is so many different perspectives that offer different insights. Hannah Arendt teaches us why truth in politics might be just as harmful as lies. It's probably not any of the things you think of. Curious? Enjoy the episode!https://userblogs.fu-berlin.de/andnowwhat/?page_id=85Photo: American Memory, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
