Although mind activities and worldly activities are different, they are closely related to each other. Reassembling this bond facing the difficulties in the modern world of the 20th century was one of the greatest challenges of the Arendtian corpus. For this reason, to evaluate the balance lost both in the field of thought and in the field of action in the current context of COVID-19, in this paper, I will try to highlight some articulations that can be examined between thought, plurality, action, and judgment, categories that Hannah Arendt has thoroughly worked on her intellectual career. The point of contrast will center on an interpretation of the link between thought and entertainment offered by Blaise Pascal in the seventeenth century in fragment 139 of his work Thoughts. To problematize my proposal, I will recover Arendt's considerations from chapter II of The Life of mind. This will allow us to rework the knot between thought and dialogue with oneself, enabled by the experience of interruption or pause. From this point on, I will try to elucidate different activities configured by the experience of thought, solitude, isolation, and loneliness. The Arendtian recovery of the figure of Socrates, in this framework, will be not only central to counterbalance how the link between solitary life and thought represented in the Pascalian figure was historically resolved, but also crucial to reflect upon the exercise of judgment in crises. |

La actividad de la mente y la actividad mundana si bien son distintas, se encuentran estrechamente relacionadas entre sí. Re-armar este lazo de cara a las dificultades del mundo moderno del siglo XX fue uno de los más grandes desafíos del corpus arendtiano. Por tal motivo, en dirección a evaluar algunos equilibrios perdidos tanto en el ámbito del pensamiento como en el ámbito de la acción ante la emergencia sanitaria actual, en este trabajo se intentarán poner de manifiesto algunas articulaciones que se pueden explorar, entre pensamiento, pluralidad, acción y juicio, categorías trabajadas insistentemente por Hannah Arendt a lo largo de su trayectoria intelectual. El punto de contraste en relación a dicha elaboración será encarnado en la interpretación del vínculo entre pensamiento y divertimentos que ofrece Blaise Pascal en el siglo XVII en el fragmento 139 de su obra Pensamientos. En orden a problematizar esta singular propuesta se recuperarán las consideraciones que ofrece Arendt en el capítulo II de La vida del Espíritu. Ello nos permitirá reelaborar el nudo, habilitado por la experiencia de interrupción o pausa, entre pensamiento y diálogo consigo mismo. A partir de allí, se intentarán dilucidar los distintos rejuegos que se configuran entre experiencia de pensamiento, vida solitaria, aislamiento y soledad. La recuperación arendtiana de la figura de Sócrates, en ese marco, no sólo será central para hacer frente o contrapeso al modo en que históricamente se resolvió el vínculo entre vida solitaria y pensamiento representada en la figura pascaliana, sino una pieza central para pensar el ejercicio del juicio en situaciones límite o de crisis.
