@jwilson1812@NewYorker@tnyfrontrow Brody is clearly in the "Arendt betrayed her people" camp. -
@NeilGussman@jwilson1812@NewYorker No; betrayed human psychology. Her philosophy is impersonal, like the movie. -
@tnyfrontrow@jwilson1812@NewYorker i read Arendt after deployment to Iraq in 2009. Thought her eerily right on evil in hierarchy -

@NeilGussman@jwilson1812@NewYorker —she generalized so quickly that she missed the particulars. -
@tnyfrontrow@jwilson1812 I read all major Arendt. Very taken by her. Who do you suggest as counterpoint? -
@NeilGussman@jwilson1812 Claude Lanzmann's film The Last of the Unjust, Bettina Stangneth's book Eichmann Before Jerusalem. - 8 more replies
