Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Judging Eichmann: The Banality of Evil Monday, December 4, 2017 On the anniversary of Hannah Arendt's death we will come together to discuss Eichmann and the Banality of Evil. Hannah Arendt covered the trial of Adolf Eichmann for The New Yorker and launched the greatest intellectual firestorm in the city's history. Her five-part essay and the ensuing book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil are hailed as brilliant accounts of the nature of genocidal evil and condemned for understating Eichmann's monstrosity. An all-star panel of scholars and public intellectuals will discuss the controversy around Arendt's understanding of Eichmann and the importance of her understanding of the banality of evil in the world today. PanelistsLeon Botstein, President of Bard CollegeSeyla Benhabib, Prof Political Science & Philosophy at Yale University Moderated by Roger Berkowitz, Founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College.
