Hans's criticism at the end

Hannah’s friend Hans criticized her for arrogant and self-righteous criticizing Jews from an elite perspective after the speech. Her condescending attitude is what makes many people feel unhappy. Hans’s criticism is my biggest challenge to Hannah, even though she herself didn’t realize it at the end.

"People don't think." This accusation is too elitist and self-righteous.

Until now, the person who made such remarks is probably classified as a well-known person who deserves to be scolded.

Although I also appreciate the high demands of elites on themselves, I am skeptical of the practice of delimiting elites and civilians.

The book is like its own. Her argument in "Human Condition" reveals the same elitist temperament.

Ironically, the opposite of the non-thinking common people—the philosopher Heidegger—is also inevitably involved in the Nazi conspiracy. Thinking or not thinking, victimization and victimization, both are powerless.

How would Arendt respond to this?

    The Eichmann trial, which took place in theaters and was televised live, drew Arendt's attention to the drama, and her reportage, based on Brecht's satirical comedy, was the climax of the play, a familiar self-deprecating -Handing the knife-Internet violence plot, the movie collects Arendt's points in a class-like manner, the lines should have sources, and the famous lines are constantly, from the dark times, to I don't love my family, I only love my friends, to The last "wind of thinking", Arendt regarded philosophy as "the call of the highest intelligence", is destined to fall into the vortex of the entanglement of thinking and life, or rather, to live out the conflict between the elite tradition and the mass era. The "omniscient attitude" that they should learn (the so-called Hannah Arrogant), and the true nostalgia under fortitude (Brugher's derailment, Heidegger's teacher-student love, and friends' arguments), present a The arc of women on the white men's public stage is eye-catching and respectable (you can see her "beautiful big eyes" in the photo). Hans Jonas, who broke off with her at the end of the credits, later said in his eulogy that some people's mistakes are worth more than others' truths. totally agree.

    Chinese people never think about the historical view that evil is mediocre and good is radical. Good and evil are by no means binary oppositions.

Hannah Arendt quotes

  • Lionel Abel: Who does she think she is? Aristotle?

    Mary McCarthy: Unlike all of you, Hannah was actually forced into exile. She was held in a brutal detention camp. Isn't it admirable that she is the only one who can discuss this subject without beating her breast.

    Norman: And why do you think that is? Because she's smarter than people with feelings?

    Mary McCarthy: Well, in your case, Norman, being smarter is easy. She's more courageous than you are.

  • Kurt Blumenfeld: You have no love for Israel? No love for your own people? I can't laugh with you anymore.

    Hannah Arendt: But Kurt, you know me. I've never loved any people. Why should I love the Jews? I only love my friends. That's the only love I'm capable of.
