Abstract

Hannah Arendt's last philosophical work was an intended three-part project entitled Life of Mind. Unfortunately, Arendt lived to complete only first two parts, Thinking and Willing. Of third, Judging, only title page, with epigraphs from Cato and Goethe, was found after her death. As titles suggest, Arendt conceived of her work as roughly parallel to three Critiques of Immanuel Kant. In fact, while she began work on Life of Mind, Arendt lectured on Kant's Political Philosophy, using the Critique of Judgment as her main text. The present volume brings Arendt's notes for these lectures together with other of her texts on topic of judging and provides important clues to likely direction of Arendt's thinking in this area.
