Episode 181: Hannah Arendt on the Banality of Evil (Part One)

from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

On Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963). Are we still morally culpable if our entire society is corrupt? Arendt definitely thinks so, but has a number of criticisms of the handling of the 1961 trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. The Israelis were committed to the view that Eichmann was a monster, when the reality, says Arendt, is more frightening. Continues with Part Two. Get the ad-free, unbroken Citizen Edition.
