The Life of the Mind

In the seventh chapter of the chapter which appeared in her work "Life of the mind" for life of the soul, Arendt criticized Descartes in large part for "doubt of human recognition and sensory equipment". Descartes tries to find out the soul of myself and thought, and its reality and existence transcend the "fantasy of feeling illusion". Arendt claims that Descartes' fictional creatures are intangible and meaningless, so they can not distinguish between reality and unreality, or even know that reality is outside of itself.

More precisely, the self-organizing function of the mind is a rich version of the self-organization function of life. In a sense, what the mind needs in metaphysics also exists in biological life, but it is not necessarily the right way in the right way. The thermodynamic internal structure is organized. Therefore, not every living thing is conscious, but each brain must have biological activity.
