The work addresses the individual, considering the aspects of their existence least conditioned by their presence in the world. Thus, each of these three activities depends on a kind of spiritual withdrawal from direct contact with the things of the world, which constitutes the condition for reflection and discourse on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThus, the volume on \u003cem\u003ethinking\u003c\/em\u003e draws on extensive material to answer questions about the position of this activity in the world of appearances, its origins (what makes us think?), and the temporal dimension in which the thinking subject moves. The volume dedicated to \u003cem\u003ewilling\u003c\/em\u003e reviews the prehistory of the notion of will in ancient philosophy, examines the discovery of this faculty in the Christian period and its central position in modern philosophy, highlighting the questioning of this centrality in contemporary philosophy. At this point, it draws attention to the need to define a notion of freedom that encompasses political meaning. The volume on \u003cem\u003ejudging\u003c\/em\u003e could not be completed. Mary McCarthy, Arendt's friend and executor, decided to fill this gap by including excerpts from the author's lectures on Kant's philosophy, in which she hoped to find sources for examining the faculty of judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eEven though it was written for an audience of philosophy students, \u003cem\u003eThe Life of the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is written in Arendt's characteristically lively and fluid style, which attracts the attention of a much wider audience interested in the most relevant intellectual debates of our time. The excellent translation, completed over a decade ago by a group of scholars, has been revised for this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “One of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century.” — \u003cem\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “This book may seem daunting, but don't be fooled, it is a majestic work of profound humility and seriousness, and radiant imagination.” — \u003cem\u003eKirkus Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “The most fascinating […] and most thought-provoking book Hannah Arendt ever wrote” — \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159450468604,"sku":"9786558020592","price":119.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/cbbaab276df5ab691a906a9f5fbb4c06.jpg?v=1781667463","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/a-vida-do-espirito","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
