摘要:

以对20世纪的一系列政治问题的反思而著称于世的当代著名政治哲学家汉娜·阿伦特, 晚年从她一直关注的政治问题转向哲学问题。在《精神生活》在这部未完成的著作中, 她力图弥合传统上“精神生活”和“行动生活”的对立, 阐明政治活动的精神性基础, 并对“平庸罪恶”这一现象做出理论上的解释, 说明思为何具有抗拒邪恶的力量。阿伦特对思的政治意义的分析得益于西方哲学史上的两位大师: 康德和苏格拉底。从康德那里, 她学会了思是什么; 从苏格拉底那里, 她学会了思的方式。

Abstract:

Hannah Arendt, a well-known political philosopher in the world for her reflections on a series of political problems in the twentieth century, turned to philosophy in her late years from the political realm with which she had been always concerned. In her unfinished writing, The Life of Mind, she tried to bridge the traditional gap between life of mind and life of action, formulating the intellectual basis of political activities. Moreover, she sought to give a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon: the banality of evil, illustrating why thinking had a power to refuse evils. Arendt's idea of the political significance of thinking was indebted to the two great masters of Western philosophy: Kant and Socrates. From Kant she learned what was thinking, and from Socrates she learned how to think.

Key words: life of mind, banality of evil, reason, intellect, conscience
