We discuss competing mythologies and historical narratives, the communal comfort of false logic and a determination to focus and empower truth over falsehood.
We also talk about taking conversations from the classroom to the street, the pendulum swinging between hope and despair since the October 17 Uprising, and a firm belief in the need to end political violence.
Hani Hassan is a Civilization Studies and Philosophy Instructor at The American University of Beirut.
