WILLIAM BARRETT,
Partisan Review
"Miss Arendt is attempting to examine the various interpretations through–
out history that man has made of the
vita aeliva,
the life of action, and
this involves her in the correlated analyses of the life of thought, of labor,
and fabrication. This is a tremendous and fundamental philosophic enter–
prise, which involves her not only in an attempt to understand the most
fundamental verbs in the language--to do, to make, to think, to be--but
also in a painstaking historical examination of the historical vicissitudes
of these verbs in the course of Western History."
