Principer och värderingar kan stå i konflikt med viljan att förstå. Lyra Ekström Lindbäck funderar över avsiktslöst tänkande i ljuset av tre personer: Hannah Arendt, Adolf Eichmann och Sokrates. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Den 12 december 1961 dömdes nazisten Adolf Eichmann till döden. Det var en väntad, rentav given, dom. Men rättegången hade ändå varit rörig. Eichmann hade svårt att minnas vissa saker, som viktiga datum i krigsutvecklingen.Vad han däremot mindes kristallklart var sin egen karriär: de exakta omständigheterna kring varje framsteg. Han hade varit i Slovenien, men kom inte ihåg på vilket uppdrag. Han mindes bara att han hade fått bowla med landets inrikesminister.I polisförhören förklarade han noggrant varför det inte hade varit hans fel att han aldrig nått en högre befordran. Han skröt med sin felfria yrkesutövning inför mannen som frågade ut honom: en tysk jude och förintelseöverlevare.Eichmann var, enligt filosofen Hannah Arendt som bevakade rättegången, inte dum. Inte heller var han ond, i bemärkelsen driven av en diabolisk anda. ”Förutom en extraordinär omsorgsfullhet vad gällde hans personliga avancemang”, skrev hon, ”så hade han inga motiv över huvud taget.”Eichmann var ideologisk antisemit och visste mycket väl att han skickade människor i döden. Men han reflekterade inte så mycket över det. Han koncentrerade sig på att vara en felfri byråkrat. Kan vi förstå att en människa kan agera så, utan att drivas av ett brinnande hat?Ett större mysterium, tycker jag, är Arendts egen brist på känslomotiv. Hon var själv tysk judinna. Hon hade arbetat för en sionistisk organisation, internerats i koncentrationsläger och osannolikt nog lyckats fly. Att hon överlevde Förintelsen var en lycklig slump. Att hon förlorade vänner och släktingar behöver knappast nämnas.Det hade varit så rimligt om hon hade drivits av hämndbegär. Om hon hade idealiserat den unga staten Israel och fallit in i kören som beskrev Eichmann som en djävul. Men hon hade ingen sådan agenda. Hon ville bara förstå.Detta motiv blev svårt för hennes samtid att svälja. När hennes rapporter från rättegången publicerades utsattes hon för dödshot. Hon anklagades för att vara antisemit: för att ha beskrivit de judiska organisationernas avgörande roll för massmorden och för att ha fokuserat på Eichmanns personlighet istället för att bara förklara honom omänsklig.Påbudet om blind fördömelse är en begriplig reaktion på fruktansvärda händelser. Men det finns en motsättning mellan att fördöma och förstå. Det menar den judiska filosofen Judith Butler. Efter Hamas terrordåd den 7 oktober 2023 insisterade Butler på att se händelsen i den historiska kontexten av israeliskt övervåld mot det palestinska folket. Kravet på fördömelse, menade hen, innebär ”en vägran att förstå, i rädsla för att kunskap bara kan relativisera och underminera vår bedömningsförmåga.”Butler blev hatad i sociala medier. Samma öde drabbade den rysk-judiska tänkaren Masha Gessen. Efter att hen hade utsetts till vinnare av Hannah Arendt-priset skrev Gessen en artikel som kritiserade hur den tyska minneskulturen tystar samtalet om övervåld i Gaza.”Det är oerhört svårt för människor att förstå att någon kan ha varit ens fiendes fiende men ändå inte en välvillig kraft. Ett offer men ändå en förövare. Eller vice versa”, reflekterade hen. I artikeln liknades situationen i Gaza vid ett ghetto. Stiftelsen som delade ut priset ville ställa in ceremonin. De tyckte att Gessen hade relativiserat Förintelsen.Jag undrar om Hannah Arendt själv hade kunnat vinna Hannah Arendt-priset under de premisserna.Men ändå. Är det inte farligt att tänka som Arendt gjorde, utan en tydlig agenda? Ska man inte hålla fast vid sina värderingar före allt annat? Riskerar man inte att bli som Eichmann annars, en samvetslös kugge i ett nazistiskt maskineri?Faktum är att Eichmann hade ett samvete. Han höll fast vid sina principer. De bestod i att utföra sitt jobb väl, lyda lagen, försörja sin familj och försvara sitt land. Han hade blivit övertygad nazist av karriäristiska skäl och förblev det av rådande samvetsskäl. Som Arendt skriver: ”Ondskan hade i Tredje riket förlorat den karaktär som gör den igenkännlig för de flesta människor: karaktären av frestelse.”Eichmann var, enligt ett halvdussin rättspsykiatriker, helt normal. Som de flesta andra sade han emot sig själv en del och pratade gärna i klyschor. Och som de flesta andra hade han inga problem med att utföra sina arbetsuppgifter utan att ifrågasätta dem. Snarare tvärtom.Problemet var bara att han inte tänkte i onödan.Men vad innebär det att tänka i onödan?Det är att tänka utmanande, obekväma tankar. Det låter väl bra, tycker de flesta. Men i praktiken vill många förbjuda sådana tankar. Enligt socialpsykologen Jonathan Haidt har motståndet mot så kallade ”kränkande” idéer vuxit på universiteten. Studenter vill slippa utsättas för sådant som kan klassas som rasism, sexism eller antisemitism.Haidt kallar den här inställningen för ”ett förkastande av arvet från Sokrates”. Sokrates beskrev sig själv som en bromsfluga på det atenska folkets feta hästkropp. ”Han ansåg det vara sitt jobb att sticka, störa, ifrågasätta och därigenom provocera atenarna till att tänka igenom sina nuvarande uppfattningar och förändra dem som de inte kunde försvara.”Sokrates ifrågasatte alla. Statsmän, retoriker, poeter och sofister. Han ville se om deras resonemang gick ihop. Det värsta som kan hända en människa, enligt Sokrates, är ”att hon hamnar i självmotsägelse och upphör att vara en enhetlig person”. Så formulerar den svenska filosofen Charlotta Weigelt det i sin rika bok ”Sokrates. Filosofens skepnader”.Att vara i samklang med sig själv är inget givet faktum, påpekar Weigelt. Människan är till sitt väsen splittrad. Det är därför vi kan tänka på våra egna tankar. Det är svårt att inse vad man redan tänker, men ännu svårare att förstå vad man inte tänker. Det är ofta det sista man vill tänka på.När Sokrates ställdes inför rätta försökte han begripa vad han egentligen åtalades för. Han erkände sig skyldig till att aldrig ha brytt sig om ”det som de flesta andra har brytt sig om, nämligen affärer, försörjning, militära uppdrag, politiska positioner och andra befattningar”. Han såg att hans motiv var helt obegripliga för vanligt folk. Varför hade han gått runt och stört alla sådär?Det är mycket svårare, insåg Arendt, att förstå vad som drev Sokrates än vad som drev Eichmann. Filosofen var exceptionell. Den nazistiska byråkraten, liksom rådet i Aten som dömde Sokrates till döden, var banala, helt normala. De fokuserade på sina egna liv och arbetsuppgifter. De glömde, eller orkade inte, tänka på något annat.Tänkande är ingen garanti för godhet. Tänkandet är rörligt, opålitligt och kommer alltid att väcka misstänksamhet. Som Arendt skrev om Sokrates: ”Eftersom han inte hade någonting att lära ut, ingen sanning att dela ut, anklagades han för att aldrig avslöja sin egen uppfattning.”Skillnaden mellan att sakna agenda för att man tänker, och att utföra någon annans agenda för att man inte tänker, kan tyckas vara hårfin. Men bara den senare kan se ett folkmord som en möjlighet för att bygga en fin karriär.Lyra Ekström Lindbäckförfattare, kritiker och filosofBibliografiArendt, Hannah.

Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) depicts the trial of Nazi judges before the U.S. military tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany, following World War II. The film was directed by Stanley Kramer from a screenplay by Abbie Mann; it features a sensational cast that includes Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Maximilian Schell (who won an Oscar for best actor), Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Montgomery Clift, and William Shatner. The film provides a gripping account of the “Judges' Trial” or "Justice Case" (as it has become known), exploring issues around individual and collective guilt, the challenges facing tribunals seeking to punish mass atrocities, and the quest for peace and justice after the horrors of World War II. In many respects, the film remains as relevant today as it was when it was first released. I'm joined by Professor Kevin Jon Heller, a renowned scholar of international criminal law and leading expert on the Nuremberg tribunals.

In this episode, Courtenay invites truth warrior, Mel K, to the show to talk about her escape from Hollywood to become a full-time investigative journalist. As a NYU journalism and film school alumna, Mel spent 20 years working in Hollywood. She shares her take on the BTS of corrupt billionaire funding lineages and trafficking rings. Not surprisingly, Mel fled the Hollywood scene to go back to NYC and begin using her journalism talents to expose hidden history. She's passionate about disclosing malevolent geopolitical forces that are determined to achieve One World Government. Her talk show, The Mel K Show, is designed to preserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans and protect this country from a future of surveillance, compliance, and control.

Hannah Arendt's 1963 book "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" explores the idea that evil is perpetuated when immoral principles become normalized over time by unthinking people.

(23 February 2023)지난주부터 Hannah Arendt 교수님이 쓰신 책 ‘Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil'을 읽기 시작했는데요. 1)인간의 본성과 2)책임감과 관련된 심리적 결단과 3)목표를 이루기 위한 행동의 표현에 대해 잘 가르쳐 주는 책입니다. 시간을 내서 이 영어 단어 ‘Banality'를 한번 찾아 보세요. 개인이나 공동의 목적을 이루기 위해서 범죄를 저지르면서도 윤리 도덕적으로 무감각한 숨겨진 악의 실체를 이 책에서는 독일 나찌 정권의 학살을 예로 들면서 보여주고 있습니다. 이 책을 읽으면서 신앙 생활에 대해서도 동시에 생각을 해 봤습니다. 우리의 신앙' 생활에 banality'에 적용되는 모순과 오류가 과연 얼마나 있을까! 특히 마가복음 4장에 풍랑 속에서 우왕좌왕 불안에 떨고 있는 제자들과 그 상황에서도 주무시는 예수님과 대비되는 모습이 우리에게 ‘banality of faith'에 대해서 가르치는 것은 무엇인지 생각해 보게 됩니다. 이렇게 주제가 거창한 것을 보니, 이번주 말씀은 기도하면서 정말 열심히 준비 해야겠습니다. 이번주 목요일 저녁에 봐요 ^^CRW——그가 누구이신가? WHO IS THIS? (마가복음 4:35~41, Mark 4:35~41)35 그 날 저물 때에 제자들에게 이르시되 우리가 저편으로 건너가자 하시니 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 그들이 무리를 떠나 예수를 배에 계신 그대로 모시고 가매 다른 배들도 함께 하더니 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 큰 광풍이 일어나며 물결이 배에 부딪쳐 들어와 배에 가득하게 되었더라 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 예수께서는 고물에서 베개를 베고 주무시더니 제자들이 깨우며 이르되 선생님이여 우리가 죽게 된 것을 돌보지 아니하시나이까 하니 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?”39 예수께서 깨어 바람을 꾸짖으시며 바다더러 이르시되 잠잠하라 고요하라 하시니 바람이 그치고 아주 잔잔하여지더라 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.40 이에 제자들에게 이르시되 어찌하여 이렇게 무서워하느냐 너희가 어찌 믿음이 없느냐 하시니 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”41 그들이 심히 두려워하여 서로 말하되 그가 누구이기에 바람과 바다도 순종하는가 하였더라They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
The Luminaries series is a collection of interviews with premier thinkers working in the theological academy and the church.

In this episode Professor in Clinical Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium, Mattias Desmet, explains the phenomenon of Mass Formation. Desmet holds a Master's Degree in Statistics and after studying the public COVID-19 statistics, he realised that the mortality of the virus was highly exaggerated. Yet, when people pointed it out publicly, the narrative did not seem to become more balanced. He has studied totalitarianism and realised that the world was experiencing a Mass Formation, which is a condition where people are hypnotised and have a very narrow focus on just one problem. They go into a collective, totalitarian state of mind, and do not realise that they are losing everything. The group will also feel extreme anger towards those who do not go along with their narrative and almost religious rituals. Dr Robert W Malone MD was also referring to Desmet in his interview at the Joe Rogan podcast, where he was talking about "Mass Formation Psychosis". Malone has also written about Mass Formation.› Mattias Desmet› Dr Robert W Malone MD› Malone about Mass Formation› Malone & Rogan • Spotify • Odysee› Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt› The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt› Gustave Le Bon› About death counts in Belgium • Why does Belgium have so many Coronavirus deaths? • Why Belgium`s Death Rate Is So High: It Counts Lots Of Suspected COVID-19 CasesDownload this episodeRecorded: 2022-01-10Published: 2022-01-14

Çoğu kişi tarafında felsefeci olarak da bilinmekle birlikte, kendisi felsefenin "bireyin kendisi"ne dair sorunlarla uğraştığını söyleyerek bu sıfatı reddetmiştir. Siyaset bilimci olarak tanımlanmayı istemesinin sebebi çalışmalarının "tekil olarak insana değil, dünyada yaşayan ve dünyayı kaplayan insanlığa" odaklanmış olmasıdır. Hannah Arendt, Yaduhi Soykırımında büyük bir payı olan üst düzey Nazi görevlisi Adolf Eichmann'da gördüğü şeyi tanımlamak için "kötülüğün sıradanlığı" sözcüklerini kullandı. Eğer bir şey "sıradan"sa, geneldir, sıkıcıdır, özgün değildir. Eichmann'ın kötülüğünün, bir şeytanınkinden ziyade bir bürokratın, bir büro yöneticisinin kötülüğü anlamında sıradan olduğunu iddia etti. Söz konusu kişi, Nazi görüşlerinin yaptığı her şeyi etkilemesine izin vermiş, son derece sıradan bir adamdı.

Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition (1958) is a remarkably prophetic book. At its heart is an analysis of the relationship between labour, work and action, set against a time of rapid technological change. Arendt worried about the power of computers, believed in the capacity of people to reinvent themselves through politics and despaired of the influence of Thomas Hobbes. Was she right?Recommended version to purchase: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo29137972.htmlGoing Deeper:James Miller in the LRB on Hannah ArendtHannah Arendt, The Origins of TotalitarianismHannah Arendt, Eichman in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of EvilIn Our Time on Hannah ArendtMatthew Beard for the Guardian, ‘With Robots, is a life without work one we’d want to live?’ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
We live in a time of deep division and confusion. It is naturally breeding a brand conspiratorial politics on both sides of the political aisle, creating a situation ripe for antisemitism. And that is exactly what is happening. Attacks on Haredim in the New York area are skyrocketing, in the past two years there have been four major terror attacks against Jewish communities across the nation, and more political figures have condoned or tacitly supported antisemites or their ideas. And now in a time of coronavirus, conspiracy theories blaming the Jews for the pandemic are rampant. How might one counter this reemerging threat, especially gearing up for what will most likely be the most vicious election cycle yet? What is President Trump’s role in this issue – symptom, cause, unrelated? In such a polarized time, how does Ungar-Sargon manage the opinion page of one of the leading Jewish news publications? With Batya Ungar-Sargon, the Forward’s opinion editor, we discuss these issues and many more in a fascinating and fun conversation. Ungar-Sargon also holds a PhD in English from University of California, Berkeley. *Please note this was recorded before the coronavirus began afflicting places outside of China, and before former VP Joe Biden secured decisive victories in the Democratic primaries. _________________________________________________ Favorite podcasts: “The Daily” + “Criminal” + “The Promised Podcast” Most insightful person to follow on social media: Jarvis Good Books that have most shaped Ungar-Sargon's thinking: "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" + "Origins of Totalitarianism" – both by Hannah Arendt "Middlemarch" – George Eliot Works of Benny Morris and Norman Rush

Misogyny has long been understood as something men feel, not something women experience. That, says philosopher Kate Manne, is a mistake. In her book Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, Manne defines misogyny as “as primarily a property of social environments,” one that not only doesn’t need hatred of women to function, but actually calms hatred of women when it is functioning. Politics is thick right now with arguments over misogyny, patriarchy, and gender roles. These arguments are powering media controversies, political candidacies, and ideological movements. Manne’s framework makes so much more sense of this moment than the definitions and explanations most of us have been given. This is one of those conversations that will let you see the world through a new lens. In part because her framework touches on so much, this is a conversation that covers an unusual amount of ground. We talk about misogyny and patriarchy, of course, but also anxiety, Jordan Peterson, the role of shame in politics, my recent meditation retreat, Sweden, the social roles that grind down men, and a piece of satire in McSweeney’s that might just be the key to understanding the 2016 and 2020 elections.

On Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1963). Are we still morally culpable if our entire society is corrupt? Arendt definitely thinks so, but has a number of criticisms of the handling of the 1961 trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. The Israelis were committed to the view that Eichmann was a monster, when the reality, says Arendt, is more frightening.
danah boyd is an anthropologist and computer scientist who studies the way people actually use technology. Not the way we wish we used technology, or the way we hope we will use technology, but the way we actually use it.“Technology,” she says, "is made by people. In a society. And it has a tendency to mirror and magnify the issues that affect everyday life.”boyd is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research, the founder of Data & Society, a visiting professor at New York University, and a fantastically interesting thinker. She packs more insight into a blog post than many authors get into a book. I’ve been reading her and learning from her for a long time, so I’ve been looking forward to this discussion, and it didn’t disappoint.In this conversation, we discuss why fake news is so easy to believe, digital white flight, how an anthropologist studies social media, the reasons machine learning algorithms reflect our prejudices rather than fixing them, what Netflix initially got wrong about their recommendations engine, the value of pretending your audience is only six people, the early utopian visions of the internet, and so, so much more.

With Kirsty Lang. Atlantis is the new family drama from the BBC, aiming to fill the Saturday night slot vacated by Merlin and Doctor Who. The action takes place in the mythical city of Atlantis and features Mark Addy as Hercules and Juliet Stevenson as the Oracle. Natalie Haynes reviews. Michael Morpurgo is one of our best known and most prolific children's writers. On the eve of his 70th birthday and with a writing career spanning nearly 40 years, he has witnessed a huge shift in the profile of the children's writer, in part aided by the Children's Laureate award he devised with his friend Ted Hughes. He reflects on the reasons for the shift and the impact on his career of the War Horse phenomenon, as it became a play and then a film. The final shortlisted author in the BBC National Short Story Award 2013 is Lavinia Greenlaw, who'll be discussing her entry We Are Watching Something Terrible Happening. Love and science collide in the chaos of a disintegrating relationship, a civil war and the trajectory of meteorites. The story will be read on Radio 4 tomorrow afternoon at 3.30. A new film by Margarethe von Trotta explores Hannah Arendt's experience of covering Adolf Eichmann's war crimes trial for the New Yorker. This became the basis for her most famous work Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. Shahidha Bari reviews the film. Producer Ellie Bury.
