Lectures & Discussions 10. Lecture: Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)
German Intellectual Traditions: from Kant to Habermas
"The objectivity of the world -- its object- or thing-character -- and the human condition supplement each other; because human existence is conditioned existence, it would be impossible without things, and things would be a heap of unrelated articles, a non-world, if they were not the conditioners of human existence." (Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition)“What are we “doing” when we do nothing but think? Where are we when we, normally always surrounded by our fellow-men, are together with no one but our selves” (Life of the Mind- Thinking- vol 1)
