Hannah Arendt Quotes
There Is Perhaps No Clearer Testimony To The Loss Of The Public Realm In The Modern Age Than The Almost Complete Loss Of Authentic Concern With Immortality, A Loss Somewhat Overshadowed By The Simultaneous Loss Of The Metaphysical Concern With Eternity. The Latter, Being The Concern Of The Philosophers And The Vita Contemplativa, Must Remain Outside Our Present Considerations. But The Former Is Testified To By The Current Classification Of Striving For Immortality With The Private Vice Of Vanity. Under Modern Conditions, It Is Indeed So Unlikely That Anybody Should Earnestly Aspire To An Earthly Immortality That We Probably Are Justified In Thinking It Is Nothing But Vanity.
