“Marked set,” as docketed on the half-title, copyedited throughout with occasional corrections and minor emendations in red ink, with her pencil to nearly every page, and occasional emendations in red ink. Among the more substantive changes are occasional word changes (“extremely” to “particularly” – p. 12; present tense to past tense – p. 12; “that existed” to “of the past” - p. 13; “discussed” to “talked about” – p. 16; “epistemological” to “cognitive” – p. 18; “private world” to “world of their own” on p. 53 – for example). The copy editor who sprinkled red marks throughout occasionally directed questions to Arendt, which she answered in pencil. On page 37 several dropped lines are added in type and on page 39 several lines are added in pencil. Pages 115 and 147/171 see the lengthiest adjustments: on 115 Arendt has crossed out three lines and added in pencil four substitute lines at the foot of the page, clarifying an allusion to the Illiad; on 147 and 171 she has typed in lengthy notes about Brecht and Stalin.
