Abstract

The author reflects on the art of thinking. She offers her view about the two differing origins of the preoccupation of mental activities. The author comments on the complete quietness within the vita contemplativa. She argues that the crises in metaphysics and philosophy begun when the philosophers themselves began to declare the end of metaphysics and philosophy.
