Arendt: On the Political Judgement of Scientists
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 11 hours ago
In the prologue to her book *The Human Condition*, Hannah Arendt notes that speech is what makes man a political being, but the sciences use a language of mathematical symbols which include statements that cannot be translated into spoken language.
