Life of the mind - Part two: will

This second and final part of "The Life of Thought" is composed by Arendt and serves as a philosophical testament, as she finished editing it days before her death in December 1975. After exploring the depths of "the mind" in the first part, translated by us (Dar Al-Nadim, 2016), Hanne Arendt, in this second part, analyzes the core of "will" and desire, conducting an anthropological analysis of the deviation revealed by the historical fate of modernity, relying on a new critical approach to intellectual judgment. Hanne Arendt, in this study, begins by analyzing theories related to the will, starting from ancient choices to Nietzsche and Heidegger, passing through ancient Greek philosophers, Saint Paul, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Duns Scotus, while simultaneously delving into the secret of this deadly disease that afflicted the mind (logos), where nihilism became the greatest embodiment. This type of philosophical diving and sailing, or rather the philosophical archaeology of evil, represents the best and most meaningful connection to the eternal philosophy related to the dramatic issues of modernity, drawing many terrifying conclusions.
