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
In recent years, relations between patients and physicians in
America have undergone a dramatic change. The growing acceptance of
natural childbirth, support groups for patients with serious
illnesses, health maintenance organizations, and hospices for a
"happy death" among family and friends is part of a redefinition of
medical practice and reformulation of the field of medical power.
No longer is medical practice confined to "taming the beast" of
death and fighting the diseases observable in the human body. The
modern practitioner is now a manager of the living, taking an
ecological view of the patient as a "whole person" in a network of
relationships.
