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 read Hannah was writing the first page the Life of the Mind trilogy was in her typewriter when she passed away.... suddenly

The Human Condition, well worn over the years, is still with me, close at hand, more relevant every day these days...


Hannah Arendt's "The Life of the Mind" remained incomplete at the time of her death. Arendt had long considered writing a work on the mental faculties involved in the philosophy of the mind. From the time she completed "The Human Condition" in 1958, she wanted to complement it by proceeding from the vita activa (active life) to the vita contemplativa (contemplative life).
