Hannah Arendt's warning on siding with the strong resurfaces

Original: Schierarsi dalla parte del più forte per quieto vivere o mero interesse personale. È ciò che scrisse # HannahArendt , ch

Writings by Hannah Arendt on people siding with the powerful to live in peace or for personal gain are being quoted on the 120th anniversary of her birth, with reference to her concept of the banality of evil. The discussion also points to Margarethe von Trotta's film about Arendt, reviving interest in her analysis of how ordinary conformity enables wrongdoing.

Why now: The 120th anniversary of Hannah Arendt's birth is prompting renewed reflection on her ideas about the banality of evil.
