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...

The nature of the missing third part has continued to be a matter of great speculation.[4] During her visiting professorship at the New School in 1974, she presented a graduate level political philosophy class entitled, Philosophy of the Mind. It was during these class lectures that she crystallized her concepts. The class was based on her working draft of Philosophy of the Mind, which would later be edited to become Life of the Mind. Arendt's working draft was distributed to her graduate students. She conceived of a trilogy based on the mental activities of thinking, willing, and judging.
