摘要

《心灵的生活》(The Life of The Mind, 1978)以对思维的反思作为开篇。汉娜·阿伦特所说的思考，是指我们从世界中抽身出来反思事物意义的能力。思考本身是一种没有结果的活动:寻找意义，它无法达到目标，因为由此产生的任何意义都只能再次受到质疑。思维是通过想象实现的，需要语言和隐喻的运用。它还必须是一种内在对话的一部分——在这个时刻，我们变成了二合一。因此，阿伦特似乎将思维定义为一种动态的、中介的意义创造的对话过程。在本文中，我首先将阿伦特对思考的反思置于她一生的作品中。然后，我提出了她的主要主张:思考不是知道;它要求某种形式的退出;它暗示着想象力;它以语言和隐喻为媒介;它是一种内心对话的形式;它能逃离时间。最后，我考察了这种思维方式对当代文化心理学的一些影响。

The wind of thinking

The Life of the Mind (1978) opens with a reflection of thinking. By thinking, Hannah Arendt means our capacity to withdraw from the world so as to reflect about the meaning of things. Thinking is an activity with no results in itself: searching for meaning, it cannot reach a goal, as any meaning hence produced can only be questioned again. Thinking is made possible through imagination, and demands the use of language and metaphors. It also has to be part of a form of inner dialogue – a moment in which we become two-in-one. Hence, Arendt seems to define thinking as a dynamic, mediated dialogical process of meaning making. In this paper, I first situate Arendt’s reflection on thinking within her life work. I then present her main propositions: that thinking is not knowing; that it demands a form of withdrawal; that it implies imagination; that it is mediated by language and metaphors; that it is a form of inner dialogue; and that it escapes time. Finally, I examine some of the implications of this approach to thinking for contemporary cultural psychology.

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.
