In 1960, Israel announced that it had arrested Adolf Eichmann, a former high-ranking Nazi German official and known as the "death executor," and he was tried in Jerusalem in 1961. The famous Jewish female philosopher Hannah Arendt, who has lived in the United States for many years, was invited by The New Yorker to write for the trial. When she went to Jerusalem to watch the trial, she found a disagreement between Eichmann's statement, public opinion, and her own philosophical thinking. When she raised Eichmann's behavior to a philosophical level, her articles unsurprisingly triggered criticism and criticism in the society, and some of her old friends even broke off ties with her. The most proud female student under Heidegger's school tried to retreat in the storm, but found that everything was not as simple as she had expected.

Is it because of reading the book? I think Arendt's wisdom is really not as affordable as reading books. Very stage feel. It's a little ironic... The movie said you didn't read my book, but it turned out to be a movie to help summarize and refine the point of view Sparknotes, I guess most people still haven't read the book...

Evil is extreme and not thorough, evil is mediocre. Only goodness is thorough and deep. But people have been dazzled by emotions and lost their reason. Or is it impossible for them to think about philosophy? After "The Philosopher in the Novel", I think it's time to start thinking about the issue of writing "The Philosopher in the Movie". Thinking and life are the eternal mission of a writer. The two are originally one, even if they bear the burden of humiliation.

Hannah Arendt: I wrote no defense of Eichmann, but I did try to reconcile the shocking mediocrity of the man with his staggering deeds. Trying to understand him is not the same thing as forgiveness. And furthermore, I see it as my responsibility to understand. It is the responsibility of anyone who dares to put pen to paper on this subject.

Hannah Arendt: But Kurt, you can't deny the huge difference between the unspeakable horror of the deeds and the mediocrity of the man.
