Quote by Soren Kierkegaard
Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wander whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
Summary
This quote, by philosopher Hannah Arendt, suggests that in our modern age, there is an abundance of goods and ideas available at very low prices. It raises the question of whether these items and concepts have lost their value and whether anyone will ultimately be interested in acquiring them. Arendt highlights a sense of devaluation and a potential lack of demand in both commerce and the realm of ideas, emphasizing the growing trivialization and cheapening of what was once considered valuable.
