"Quand tout le monde ment sur tout ce qui est important, le diseur de vérité, qu'il le sache ou non, a commencé à agir ; lui aussi s'est engagé dans les affaires politiques ; car, dans le cas peu probable où il survivrait, il a fait un pas pour changer le monde."
Hannah Arendt, in "Truth and Politics"

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/42025/

"S'il est vrai que les masses sont obsédées par le désir d'échapper à la réalité parce que, dans leur déracinement essentiel, elles ne peuvent plus en supporter les aspects accidentels et incompréhensibles, il est également vrai que leur soif de fiction a un certain rapport avec ces qualités de l'esprit humain dont la cohérence structurelle domine le simple hasard. La fuite des masses devant la réalité est une condamnation du monde dans lequel elles sont contraintes de vivre et ne peuvent subsister, puisque la coïncidence en est devenue la loi suprême et que les êtres humains ont besoin de transformer constamment les conditions chaotiques et accidentelles en un schéma humain d'une relative cohérence."

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

« #Parias », de #MarinaTouilliez : #Arendt à #Paris, l’amitié comme héroïsme ordinaire
Dans un merveilleux essai, Marina Touilliez décrit la constellation solidaire qui entourait la penseuse en exil, au milieu des années 1930. #HannahArendt #LeMonde #LeMondedeslivres #jeanbirnbaum #mastolivre #bookstodon -
"L'effondrement moral total de la société respectable sous le régime hitlérien peut nous enseigner que, dans de telles circonstances, celles et ceux qui chérissent les valeurs et s'en tiennent fermement aux normes et aux standards moraux ne sont pas fiables : nous savons désormais que les normes et les standards moraux peuvent changer du jour au lendemain, et qu'il ne restera alors que la seule habitude de s'en tenir fermement à quelque chose.
Beaucoup plus fiables seront les sceptiques et les dubitatifs, non pas parce que le scepticisme est une bonne chose ou que le doute est salutaire, mais parce qu'elles et ils ont examinent les choses et se forgent leur propre opinion."
Les meilleurs seront celles et ceux qui ne savent qu'une seule chose avec certitude : quoi qu'il arrive, tant que nous vivons, nous devons vivre avec nous-mêmes."Hannah Arendt, 1964, https://archive.org/details/responsibilityju0000aren/page/44/mode/2up?q=%22total+moral+collapse%22&view=theater

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
For behind the unwillingness to judge lurks the suspicion that no one is a free agent, and hence the doubt that anyone is responsible or could be expected to answer for what he has done. The moment moral issues are raised, even in passing, he who raises them will be confronted with this frightful lack of self-confidence and hence of pride, and also with a kind of mock-modesty that in saying, Who am I to judge? actually means We’re all alike, equally bad, and those who try, or pretend that they try, to remain halfway decent are either saints or hypocrites, and in either case should leave us alone.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

Samantha Hill: "Für #Arendt war die politische Emanzipation der Bourgeoisie der Grundstein des modernen Nationalstaates, in dem die politischen Gesetze von den privaten Interessen der Geschäftsleute bestimmt wurden, die es für nötig befunden hatten, den Staatsapparat zu übernehmen, um das Militär für ihre kolonialen Unternehmungen einzusetzen. Diese Kooptation der Nation und ihre Umwandlung in einen Nationalstaat durch private Wirtschaftsinteressen war der Kern ihres Verständnisses. Und was sie betonte - und wofür sie kritisiert wurde - war das Argument, dass der Antisemitismus vom Nationalstaat politisch benutzt wurde, um seine politischen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen zu fördern.
"Arendt hat dieses Argument nie aufgegeben. Tatsächlich griff sie es in ihrem umstrittensten Werk, Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), wieder auf, in dem sie Ben-Gurion vorwarf, einen "Schauprozess" zu veranstalten, um das Leiden des jüdischen Volkes auszunutzen, anstatt den wirklichen Verbrecher, Hitlers Cheflogistiker Adolf Eichmann, für seine Verbrechen zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Natürlich sei Eichmann antisemitisch gewesen, aber sein Hass auf das jüdische Volk sei nicht sein Hauptmotiv gewesen. Vielmehr sei es seine banale Hybris gewesen, die ihn dazu gebracht habe, in den Reihen des Dritten Reiches aufzusteigen. Das sei die Banalität des Bösen, und sie definierte die Banalität des Bösen als die Unfähigkeit, sich die Welt aus der Perspektive eines anderen vorzustellen."
