The Hannah Arendt Square in the 19th Arrondissement of Paris

While visiting Paris, I was staying in the Hannah Arendt Square.

This I really appreciated.

I like her a lot, but she was v. much a product of her time.

Her political thought is very important; but her work vis-a-vis the Holocaust and the “banality of evil” (in her exposure to Eichmann’s trial) was more of an accident.

  1. Her Banality of Evil on the Eichmann trial was a very apt description. I like her. I have the book and have read it more than once.

  2. More people need to read and understand Hannah Arendt these days.
