This was the puzzling question that the philosopher Hannah Arendt grappled with when she reported for <\/b>The New Yorker<\/b><\/em> in 1961 on the war crimes trial of Adolph Eichmann, the Nazi operative responsible for organising the transportation of millions of Jews and others to various concentration camps in support of the Nazi\u2019s Final Solution.<\/b><\/p>\n\u00bfPuede uno hacer el mal sin ser malvado? Esta fue la pregunta desconcertante que abord\u00f3 la fil\u00f3sofa Hannah Arendt cuando ella hizo una serie de reportajes para el peri\u00f3dico \u201cThe New Yorker\u201d en 1961 sobre los cr\u00edmenes de guerra de Adolph Eichmann, el responsable del operativo nazi para organizar el transporte de miles de jud\u00edos y de otros a diversos campos de concentraci\u00f3n en apoyo de la \u201cSoluci\u00f3n Final\u201d de los nazis.<\/p>\n
Arendt found Eichmann an ordinary, rather bland, bureaucrat, who in her words, was \u2018neither perverted nor sadistic\u2019, but \u2018terrifyingly normal\u2019. He acted without any motive other than to diligently advance his career in the Nazi bureaucracy. Eichmann was not an amoral monster, she concluded in her study of the case, <\/b>Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil<\/b><\/em> (1963). Instead, he performed evil deeds without evil intentions, a fact connected to his \u2018thoughtlessness\u2019, a disengagement from the reality of his evil acts. Eichmann \u2018never realised what he was doing\u2019 due to an \u2018inability\u2026 to think from the standpoint of somebody else\u2019. Lacking this particular cognitive ability, he \u2018commit crimes under circumstances that made it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he [was] doing wrong\u2019.<\/b><\/p>\nArendt descubri\u00f3 que Eichman era un hombre normal, bastante anodino, un bur\u00f3crata que, seg\u00fan sus palabras, \u201cno era ni un pervertido ni un s\u00e1dico\u201d sino alguien \u201cterriblemente normal\u201d. \u00c9l no actu\u00f3 con otro motivo que el de avanzar de forma diligente en su carrera profesional en la burocracia nazi. Eichman no era un monstruo amoral, seg\u00fan concluy\u00f3 ella en su estudio del caso que lleva el t\u00edtulo \u201cEichmann en Jerusal\u00e9n: un informe sobre la banalidad del mal\u201d (1963). En vez de ello, \u00e9l realiz\u00f3 actos malvados sin malas intenciones. Un hecho, que estaba conectado con su \u201cinconsciencia\u201d, con una desvinculaci\u00f3n de la realidad de sus actos malvados. Eichmann \u201cnunca se dio cuenta de que lo es estaba haciendo\u201d debido a una \u201cincapacidad \u2026 para pensar desde el punto de vista de otra persona\u201d. Al carecer de esta capacidad cognitiva espec\u00edfica, \u00e9l cometi\u00f3 delitos bajo circunstancias que hac\u00edan casi imposible para \u00e9l saber o sentir que lo que \u00e9l estaba haciendo estaba mal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Arendt dubbed these collective characteristics of Eichmann \u2018the banality of evil\u2019: he was not inherently evil, but merely shallow and clueless, a \u2018joiner\u2019, in the words of one contemporary interpreter of Arendt\u2019s thesis: he was a man who drifted into the Nazi Party, in search of purpose and direction, not out of deep ideological belief. In Arendt\u2019s telling, Eichmann reminds us of the protagonist in Albert Camus\u2019s novel <\/b>The Stranger<\/b><\/em> (1942), who randomly and casually kills a man, but then afterwards feels no remorse. There was no particular intention or obvious evil motive: the deed just \u2018happened\u2019.<\/b><\/p>\nArendt denomin\u00f3 a estas caracter\u00edsticas colectivas de Eichman \u201cla banalidad del mal\u201d: no era inherentemente malvado sino simplemente poco profundo e ingnorante, un \u201cadvenedizo\u201d en las palabras de uno de los int\u00e9rpretes contempor\u00e1neos de la tesis de Arendt: era un hombre que se dej\u00f3 llevar al Partido Nazi, buscando finalidad y sentido en su vida, pero esos no ven\u00edan de unas creencias ideol\u00f3gicas arraigadas. Seg\u00fan el relato de Arend, Eichmann nos recuerda al protagonista de la novela de Albert Camus \u201cEl extranjero\u201d (1942), el cual mata de forma accidental a un hombre pero despu\u00e9s no siente ning\u00fan remordimiento. No hab\u00eda ninguna intenci\u00f3n en particular ni ning\u00fan motivo malvado obvio: el acto del asesinato simplemente tuvo lugar.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
