Document Summary
Arendt was one of the most famous philosophers of her time but she refused to label herself as one because she was against the term. To understand human condition, you have to realize that we are changing. Meaning is something that we have to discover ourselves. Action - plurality + natality (politics and space of appearance) Thinking - universals (the rule, concept that groups things together) The area of judging is the most related to the political because. It is important to come up with new terms, not because there aren"t similarities, but because it shows that some thinking has been done in order to see the differences. The moral diaster of the germans was that they not only became a nazi but also that they changed back into nice, regular germans again after it happened. The moral differences were just that we lived in different places and had different experiences that saved us from doing the same things.
