In the spring of 1961, The New Yorker sent political philosopher Hannah Arendt to Jerusalem to cover the trial of the organizer of the mass deportation of European Jews to Nazi death camps. To the shock of her readers, Arendt concluded that Lt. Col. Adolf Eichmann was not the monster most imagined. Rather, he was “terribly and terrifyingly normal.”
In this course, we will read Arendt’s compilation of her reports, Eichmann in Jerusalem, and explore her argument that those who commit monstrous acts are not necessarily psychopaths, that many act from a certain thoughtlessness rooted in the distortions of reality endemic to totalitarian mythology, a provocative insight that led to her groundbreaking and controversial work about the banality of evil.
