4. The Human Condition / Arendt argues that the Western philosophical tradition has devalued the world of human action which attends to appearances (the vita activa), subordinating it to the life of contemplation which concerns itself with essences and the eternal (the vita contemplativa). The prime culprit is Plato, whose metaphysics subordinates action and appearances to the eternal realm of the Ideas. (English)
この時代の欧州知識人は、西洋古典思想を基本教養として学習済みの読者を想定している。四則演算を学ばずに微分積分を理解できないのと同じく、プラトンやデカルトを読まずにアレント本を読んでも理解できるわけがない。 (Japanese)

5.5 Judgment and the Vita Activa / Some commentators have claimed that there is a contradiction in Arendt’s employment of the Aristotelian notion of phronesis alongside Kant’s idea of an “enlarged mentality,” since they supposedly pull in opposite directions, the former toward a concern with the particular, the latter toward universality and impartiality.
