| Summary: | This paper takes up the controversial arendtian term "banality of evil" and shows how plurality rooted in non-indifference is necessary for preventing us from acting bad. Distinct from "radical Evil" the "Banality of Evil" is not in itself banal. Evil deeds sneak into everyday life if being-one with oneself by consulting with oneself on the actions to be taken is missing. Hence, being-one presupposes plurality for the inner dialogue. As a matter of fact, plurality is rooted in the natality of human beings, in being born as being separated and differentiated from others. Nevertheless, conscious plurality as active non-indifference in thought and judgment is yet necessary. |
