In her book “The Human Condition”, philosopher Hannah Arendt discussed the vita activa, the active life:
- Labor
- Work
- Action
In “The Life of the Mind”, she wished to present the vita contemplativa, the contemplative life:
- Thinking
- Willing
- Judgment
Unfortunately, she died just as started working on Judgment, so that aspect was just outlined with notes.
The differences between the active and the contemplative can also be thought of as the practical versus the theoretical. This pair of triplets is not easy to turn into a troika of duals.
