This paper, as the subtitle states, intends to analyse the first part of Hannah Arendt’s "The Life of the Mind" as the work in which it is possible to find, in its most articulated form, the connection between the notions of plurality, two-in-one and in-between or infra, in view of a correct conception of thinking. If thinking is a certain experience of plurality, then opposing and resisting evil, as the title states, recalls the activity of the two-in-one arising in and from the space constituted by the in-between. Resisting evil, in this sense, coincides with recognising that in-between which peculiarly and originally characterises the human condition.

Abstract
This paper, as the subtitle states, intends to analyse the first part of Hannah Arendt’s "The Life of the Mind" as the work in which it is possible to find, in its most articulated form, the connection between the notions of plurality, two-in-one and in-between or infra, in view of a correct conception of thinking. If thinking is a certain experience of plurality, then opposing and resisting evil, as the title states, recalls the activity of the two-in-one arising in and from the space constituted by the in-between. Resisting evil, in this sense, coincides with recognising that in-between which peculiarly and originally characterises the human condition.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
