Peter Drucker on Asking the Wrong Questions；批評漢娜•鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）的 the Banality of Evil

Peter Drucker 批評漢娜•鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）的 the Banality of Evil
在【旁觀者】(頁289)，廖月娟將 the Banality of Evil翻譯為"罪惡的平庸無奇"。
Peter Drucker認為這真是"最不恰當的語詞"。她對於"大罪人"還抱著浪漫的幻想，並深陷其中。(接下來，Peter Drucker 引用莎士比亞的Othello和Macbeth兩劇；【旁觀者】中譯只注前劇) 世上不是有相當多的Iago--平庸無奇卻患下滔天大罪的人？像Lady Macbeth那樣的，則是少之又少。

『執筆之時，正值德國哲學家漢娜•鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）的108歲誕辰，我在佔領的旺角街頭中看過有人貼起印著她頭像的宣傳單張，粗略地闡釋了她最為著名的「平庸之惡」這個概念。

Amor Mundi 10/4/15

Hannah Arendt considered calling her magnum opus Amor Mundi: Love of the World. Instead, she settled upon The Human Condition. What is most difficult, Arendt writes, is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it. And yet she came to do just that. Loving the world means neither uncritical acceptance nor contemptuous rejection. Above all it means the unwavering facing up to and comprehension of that which is.

Every Sunday, The Hannah Arendt Center Amor Mundi Weekly Newsletter will offer our favorite essays and blog posts from around the web. These essays will help you comprehend the world. And learn to love it.
