Hannah Arendt's "The Life of the Mind", that she spoke about in her 1974 lectures, was incomplete at the time of her death. A philosophy of the mind was on her mind.

Hannah Arendt
SJS: Her last book in Life of the Mind had just been begun when a heart attack we heard about at the Grad Faculty of the New School ended Hannah's life.
I've read Hannah was writing the first page of the Life of the Mind trilogy and it was in her typewriter when she passed away.... suddenly after a night of discussion with friends at her place on the upper West Side of New York.
The Human Condition, well worn over the years, is still with me, close at hand, more relevant every day these days...
