A quotation from Hannah Arendt

The essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy, is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanise them.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, Postscript (1963)

@AlisonCreekside this is such a "#MaskOff moment", I can hear #HannahArendt scream: "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!"

#BanalityOfEvil

Die beunruhigende Aktualität der Arbeiten Hannah Arendts ist notorisch. Das wird nirgendwo so deutlich wie in den 1951 erschienen drei Bänden zu „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft“. https://www.goethe.de/prj/zei/de/art/27052621.html #HannahArendt
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." ~ #ElonMusk vs "The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism." ~ #HannahArendt 🤔 #quotes #empathy

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together, for it implied — as had been said at Nuremberg over and over again by the defendants and their counsels — that this new type of criminal, who is in actual fact hostis generis humani [enemy of humanity], commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong.

Nach der Vorstellung im Deutschen Theater Berlin

DIE DREI LEBEN DER HANNAH ARENDT

rattert mein Kopf von all den klugen Gedanken. Ob die Theaterbühne der richtige Ort für die Darstellung dieses bewegten Lebens ist, stelle ich mal nach diesem Biopic in Frage, auf jeden Fall war es intellektuell fordernd und weckt die Lust, sich mal näher mit ihr zu befassen.

Und: Denken, lieben, handeln - das sind die drei Leben der H. A.

#Schauspiel #Theater #DeutschesTheater #Berlin #HannahArendt

Heute sehe ich im Deutschen Theater Berlin

DIE DREI LEBEN DER HANNAH ARENDT,

ein Stück über die unangepasste Theoretikerin und brillante Denkerin nach der Graphic Novel von Ken Krimstein.

Ein Leben wie ein Krimi, man darf gespannt sein.
