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.
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.
