As Hannah Arendt's teaching assistant, Elizabeth Minnich went with Arendt to defend the philosopher’s controversial concept, the “banality of evil.” Minnich’s new book, The Evil of Banality: The Life and Death Importance of Thinking, continues her quest to comprehend how ordinarily decent people make “extensive evils” (genocide, slavery) and “extensive good” possible. Minnich will discuss these concepts and read from the book.
