An Addendum on J. Glenn Gray and Hannah Arendt on Thinking
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: An Addendum on J. Glenn Gray and Hannah Arendt on Thinking
In my episode on J. Glenn Gray I quoted Timothy Fuller on Hannah Arendt, and that quote stuck in my mind as something I wanted to further examine. In this episode I consider the claim attributed by Fuller to Arendt that thinking and acting can’t be combined, and along the way I touch on the work of Antony Flew, Susan Stebbing, Jürgen Habermas, Jan Patočka, and Peter Paret, among others. This isn’t as closely connected to philosophy of history as my other episodes, but it’s still relevant.
