Abstract

The Life of the Mind is an intriguing unfinished book written by Hannah Arendt, known as a political philosopher, at the very end of her life in 1975. We devote this Special Issue of Culture & Psychology to this work, because we are convinced that it raises interesting and important questions for social and cultural psychology today. In this Introduction to the Special Issue, we first explain why we believe that this book deserves closer attention. Second, we present the context of its publication, and a short biography of Arendt, to show its position in her life. Published posthumously, the book was her last project, yet it is based on some of her lifelong concerns. Third, we summarise Arendt’s ideas about the psyche, and the main three faculties of mind – thinking, willing and judging – with which the book is concerned. We then address three difficulties the book raises for psychologists reading her work. Finally, we explain the context in which we developed this Special Issue, and summarise the topics that will be addressed in the papers assembled here.

《与心灵生活对话

《心灵的生活》是汉娜·阿伦特(Hannah Arendt)在1975年生命的最后阶段写的一本有趣的未完成的书，她被称为政治哲学家。我们将这期《文化与心理学》特刊专门用于这项工作，因为我们相信，它为当今的社会和文化心理学提出了有趣而重要的问题。在这篇特刊导言中，我们首先解释为什么我们认为这本书值得更密切的关注。其次，我们将介绍其出版的背景，以及阿伦特的简短传记，以显示其在她生活中的地位。这本书是她死后出版的，是她最后的作品，但它是基于她一生的一些关注。第三，我们总结了阿伦特关于心灵的观点，以及本书所关注的三种主要的心智能力——思考、意愿和判断。然后，我们讨论了这本书给读她作品的心理学家带来的三个困难。最后，我们解释了我们开发本期特刊的背景，并总结了将在这里汇集的论文中讨论的主题。

期刊介绍： Culture & Psychology addresses the centrality of culture necessary for a basic understanding of the psychology of human beings: their identity, social conduct, intra- and intersubjective experiences, emotions and semiotic creativity. By drawing on diverse theoretical backgrounds, the editorial aim is to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for scholarly investigations and discussions that will advance our basic knowledge of the self in its historical and cultural contexts. The orientation of the journal is towards formulating new conceptualizations of culture in psychology, together with theoretically relevant empirical investigations.
