Thinking, by Hannah Arendt, offers a concise examination of philosophical ideas, featuring chapters that explore the thoughts of Plato, Socrates, Thomas Aquinas, and Nietzsche.

This work presents both the range of Arendt's political thought and the patterns of controversy it has elicited. The essays are arranged in six parts around important themes in Arendt's work: totalitarianism and evil; narrative and history; the public world and personal identity; action and power; justice, equality, and democracy; and thinking and judging. Despite such thematic diversity, virtually all the contributors have made an effort to build bridges between interest-driven politics and Arendt's Hellenic/existential politics. Although some are quite critical of the way Arendt develops her theory, most sympathize with her project of rescuing politics from both the foreshortening glance of the philosopher and its assimilation to social and biological processes. This volume treats Arendt's work as an imperfect, somewhat time-bound but still invaluable resource for challenging some of our most tenacious prejudices about what politics is and how to study it.

The master of baiting a consumer to believe anything is the academic convinced of their own pragmatism, that the convincing of an idea is up to them rather than up to whom they are trying to convince. There is a point at which the wise man is defined for us and the academic is defined for us, the definitions of which grant us a hyperfact to base our reason to value on. Our valuation, the nature of subjects and situations, the understandable, are up for mastery. What does the metaphysical rambler ramble about that makes a valid ontology? This book is an attempt to make a sequence of unsequential musings and simultaneously an attempt to make a long joke which has no punchline. From anarchy and the perception of chaos, to valuation and superformality, to sexual desire and psychedelia, this very, very academic book is a manipulation of language to make a series of points that may consensually violate a set of "basic principles."
