In a proposal for her final, unfinished book, The Life of the Mind, Hannah Arendt asserts that thinking, willing, and judging "are constitutive for all political action." In this special seminar, the editors of a new, annotated, critical edition of The Life of the Mind, Wout Cornelissen (Radboud University) and Thomas Bartscherer (Bard College) lead a discussion about one of Arendt's animating questions: Can the three mental activities—thinking, willing, judging—condition us to act politically and to "abstain from doing evil"?
