Silly quote of the week: "There are no dangerous thoughts; thinking itself is dangerous."- Hannah Arendt // No, it really isn't.
-
@PhilosophyExp@BrianMcleish Also remember that "thinking" and "willing" are related for Arendt in a particular way.
@drjenpierce @BrianMcleish Yes, but the point I'm making is that it's a silly *quote*. It's quoted without context, etc,

@PhilosophyExp@BrianMcleish Even so--if you know Socrates:the moral of the story is the individual who thinks is a danger to the state. -
@drjenpierce@BrianMcleish That's mainly a definitional point for Socrates; clearly it isn't literally true. So without context.. it's daft.
