The first purpose of this article is to consider the phenomenon of thought in Hannah Arendt. Its second purpose is to establish in what sense the activity of thought can be a condition against evil, according to the author. As in her determination of thought Hannah Arendt turns polemically against every attempt of seeing it as an intellectual practice, as a purely mental activity, as the foundation or prosecution of traditions of thought, as the monopoly of few (e.g. Philosophers) or as the elaboration of doctrines or systems... this text shows su-prepticially the constant confrontation of Arendt with philosophical tradition. This confron-tation with philosophical tradition takes place in the framework of a permanent conversa-tion with Socrates, in whose dialogues Hannah Arendt noticed an unequivocal example of the activity of thought.
