Hannah Arendt: What Is Thinking? | Great Thinkers with Legal Philosopher Wout Cornelissen | Denkwerk 2026

Programme in Dutch - What is thinking? According to renowned political thinker Hannah Arendt (1906 -1975), we should distinguish the activity of thinking from knowing and cognition. She investigated whether thinking -the activity itself, rather than its results - can even prevent us from doing evil.
Join philosopher and Arendt expert Wout Cornelissen and discover why Hannah Arendt remains a vital political thinker today.
