Hannah Arendt’s 1963 book Eichmann in Jerusalem remains one of the most controversial and philosophically insightful treatments of the Holocaust and its aftermath. In it, Arendt develops the categories “crimes against humanity” and “banality of evil,” both of which have had a lasting effect on our political discourse and collective imagination. She raises important challenges to scholarship and practice in multiple fields, including philosophy, political science, journalism, English, genocide studies, and more. Join the ACP Interdisciplinary Working Group as we take up these challenges in the first of a series of events focusing on Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem in its 60th anniversary year. We will have a limited number of copies of the book available free to reading group participants, on a first-come, first served basis.
