This highly original book is the first to explore the political and
philosophical consequences of Hannah Arendt's concept of 'the
banality of evil, ' a term she used to describe Adolph Eichmann,
architect of the Nazi 'final solution.' According to Bernard J.
Bergen, the questions that preoccupied Arendt were the meaning and
significance of the Nazi genocide to our modern times. As Bergen
describes Arendt's struggle to understand 'the banality of evil, '
he shows how Arendt redefined the meaning of our most treasured
political concepts and principles_freedom, society, identity,
truth, equality, and reason_in light of the horrific events of the
Holocaust. Arendt concluded that the banality of evil results from
the failure of human beings to fully experience our common human
characteristics_thought, will, and judgment_and that the exercise
and expression of these attributes is the only chance we have to
prevent a recurrence of the kind of terrible evil perpetrated by
the Nazi
General
