The Life of the Mind: The Groundbreaking Investigation on How We Think (Combined 2 Volumes in 1) (Vols 1&2)

By Hannah Arendt

The most intriguing…and thought-provoking book that Hannah Arendt wrote (The New York Times Book Review), The Life of the Mind is the final work by the political theorist, philosopher, and feminist thinker.This fascinating book investigates thought itself as it exists in contemplative life. In a shift from Arendt's previous writings, most of which focus on the world outside the mind, this is an exploration of the mind's activities she considered to be the most fundamental. The result is a rich, challenging analysis of human mental activity in terms of thinking, willing, and judging.

Loved the richness of the language and descriptions. Well worth the density of the text.
