한나 아렌트 악의 평범성, 아쿠마는 평범한 사람

영화 한나 아렌트 (Hannah Arendt) 명장면

“the greatest evil perpetrated is the evil committed by nobodies, that is, by human beings who refuse to be persons”

악의 평범성 (Banality of Evil)

일본어 : 悪の凡庸さ, 凡庸な悪, 悪の陳腐(ちんぷ)さ

진짜 악은 평범한 인간이 행하는 악이다.

凡庸(ぼんよう)な 범용한, 평범한

악마(悪魔)는 아쿠마

前世紀の惨劇の底に「凡庸な悪」を見た。

지난 세기의 참극의 밑바닥에서 평범한 악을 보았다.

平凡な人間たちが周囲に同調して悪魔の所業に加担した

평범한 인간들이 주위에 동조하여 악마의 소행에 가담했다.

This typical Nazi plea makes it clear that the greatest evil in the world is the evil committed by nobodies, evil committed by men without motive, without convictions, without wicked hearts or demonic wills, by human beings who refuse to be persons. And it is this phenomenon that I have called the “banality of evil”.

“In refusing to be a person Eichmann utterly surrendered that single most defining human quality—that of being able to think. And consequently he was no longer capable of making moral judgments.”

“사람이 되기를 거부함으로써 아이히만은 가장 결정적인 인간의 자질, 즉 생각할 수 있는 자질을 완전히 포기했습니다. 결과적으로 그는 더 이상 도덕적 판단을 내릴 수 없었습니다.”

Since Socrates and Plato, we usually call thinking: “to be engaged in that silent dialogue between me and myself.” In refusing to be a person, Eichmann utterly surrendered that single most defining human quality: that of being able to think.

And consequently, he was no longer capable of making moral judgments.

This inability to think creates the possibility for many ordinary men to commit evil deeds on a gigantic scale, the like of which one had never seen before.

It is true I have considered these questions in a philosophical way.

The manifestation of the wind of thought is not knowledge, but the ability to tell right or wrong, beautiful from ugly.

And I hope that thinking gives people the strength to prevent catastrophes in these rare moments, when the chips are down.
