HANNAH ARENDT (INTRODUCTION: (KEY CONCEPTS: (REASON OF TOTALITARIANISM,…

- - - - THAT'S WHY CRITISED AS COLD WAR INTELLECTUAL
    - - EICHMAN: CHEIF ARCHIETECT OF EXECUTION OF JEWS
      - GAVE CONCPT OF BANALITY OF EVIL
- - - - IT WAS ALWAYS DERE IN EUROPEAN CULTURE
    - - GAVE THE MYTH OF SUPERIORTY OF ARYAN RACE
      - HE HELD THAT FALL OF ARYAN HAPPENED BECOZ OF INTERMIXING OF BLOOD WITH INFERIOR RACES: AFRICAN OR JEWS
      - ARYAN WAS HELD SUPERIOUR ON ACCOUNT OF DIFFRENCE OF RELIGION OF OTHER GROUPS
    - - EXPANSION OF CAPITALISM
      - GROWTH OF BEAURAUCRATISED STATE..
      - CONVERSION OF CLASSES INTO MASSES
      - OVEREMPHASIS ON ECOMNOMIC SPHERE
        AND DELEGITIMAIZATION OF POLITICAL INS.
- - - - POWER BELONGS TO PEOPLE(GROUP),
        POWER IS CHARCTERSTIC OF COMMUNITY
    - - FORCE BELONG TO WORLD OF NATURE LIKE GARVITIONAL FORCE
        
        POWER BELONGS TO WORLD OF HUMANS
    - - VIOLENCE BELONGS TO STATE WHAT STATE USES AGAINST CITIZENS
        
        POWER BELONGS TO SPHERE OF PEOPLE
  - - - NO ONE CAN CONTROL OR HOLD POWER
        WHEN PEOPLE COME TOGETHER POWER EMERGES
        WHEN THEY GO BACK TO PRIVATE SPHERE POWER DISAPPEARS
    - - BUT ACC. TO HANNAH ARENDT VIEW : POWER BELONGS TO CIVIL SOCIETY , EXERCISED BY PEOPLE, AND MEANS ACTING IN CONCERT WITH ONE ANOTHER
- - - - AS IT CHECKED ARBITRARY EXCERCISE OF POWER BUT HASN'T CREATE MUCH SPACE FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION(ZOON POLITICOON IS NOT IMPLEMENTED COMPLETELY)
- - - - THE BOOK BECAME CONTROVERSIAL BECOME HANNAH FOUND EICHMAN THE ARCHITECT OF HOLOCAST AS A NORMAL MAN
      - HANNAH HELD THAT HE KILLED JEWS
        NOT BECOZ OF HATRED BUT BECOZ OF DUTY...
        AS EICHMAN SAID BEFEHL EST BEFEHL:DUTY IS DUTY
      - ACC. TO HANNAH SUCH CRIMES ARE NOT ONLY COMMITTED BY PSYCOPATH OR SOCIOPATH... BUT CAN BE BY PERFECTLY NORMAL PERSON
        
        EICHMAN KILLED JEWS BECOZ HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HUMAN & MORAL FEELING
        EICHMAN WAS INNOCOUS: OPERATING W/O THINKING :- INCAPABLE OF MORAL JUDEGEMNT
  - - - EVIL BECOMES BANAL WHEN IT REQUIRES UNTHINKING AND SYSTEMIC CHARCTER: CULTURE OF AUTHORITY
        
        EVIL DOESN'T LOOK LIKE EVIL . IT BECOMES FACELESS
      - EVIL BECOMES NORMAL WHEN IT BECOME PART OF DAILY LIFE.. WHEN ORDINARY PERSON BECAME PART OF IT
    - - BANALIZATION OF EVIL HAPPENS WHEN GREAT HUMAN CRIMES REDUCED TO NO.
        
        AS NO MORAL UNIVERSE EXIST BEYOND LEGALLY ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE.. TO BE INNOCENT IT MEANS INNOCENT IN EYE OF LAW
        
        LIKE IN CASE OF ANTI SIKH RIOTS, GUJRAT ROITS
        
        AND PROCESS OF ATONEMANT IS REDUCED TO A SUPERFICIAL SEEKING OF APOLOGY
        
        AND EVEN THAT MEANINGLESS APOLOGY IS IS NOT TENDERED
    - - CHARISMA OF LEADER
      - BANALIZATION OF EVIL BECOZ BANALIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT
      - FASCISM IS IN MAKING WHEN ECONOMICS AND DEVELOPMENT ARE AMPUTED FROM ETHICS AND OVERARCHING CONCEPTION OF HUMAN GOOD ... AND VIOLENCE GAINST MINORUTY BECOMES BANAL
- - - - VITA COMPACTIVA IS IMP.
        PLATO WAS WRONG WHEN HE HELD THAT THINKING IS IMP& MARXIS RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS MATTER IS IMP..
      - ACTION(VITA ACTIVA) 3 TYPES
        
        WORK(HOMO FABUS)
        
        MAN IS REALTIVELY FREE BUT NOT COMPLETLY FREE
        
        IN HOMO FABUS MAN IS MORE THAN ANIMAL BUT LESS THAN HUMAN. WORKS LIKE CRAFTSMAN, ARTIST, PROFESSTIONALETC
        
        ACTION(ZOON POLITIKON)
        
        MAN IS POLITICAL ANIMAL
        HENCE MOST IMP. ACTION IS POTICAL FUNCTION.. IT IS THE ACTION ONLY WHICH HUMAN CAN PERFORM
        
        WHEN WE ACT IN POLITICAL LIFE WE ACT AS HUMAN
        THIS ACTION GIVES COMPLETE FREEDOM
        
        ACC. TO HER IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT MAN PARTICIPATE IN POLITICS OTHERWISE IT WILL GIVE RISE OF TOTALITARIANISM
        
        LABOUR(ANIMAL LABORAN)
        
        MAN IS ANIMAL LABORAN: LABOUR IS ACTION WHICH LIVING AINMAL DO.. LIKE ANIMAL AND BIRDS
        
        MAN HAS NO PROB IN IT. MARX WAS WRONG WHEN HE HELD THAT LABOUR IS MOST IMP.
