Hannah Arendt Quotes

In Other Words, Thinking Aims At And Ends In Contemplation, And Contemplation Is Not An Activity But A Passivity; It Is The Point Where Mental Activity Comes To Rest. According To Traditions Of Christian Time, When Philosophy Had Become The Handmaiden Of Theology, Thinking Became Meditation, And Meditation Again Ended In Contemplation, A Kind Of Blessed State Of The Soul Where The Mind Was No Longer Stretching Out To Know The Truth But, In Anticipation Of A Future State, Received It Temporarily In Intuition.
