Summary of Hannah Arendt's article Truth and Politics for my philosophy class. Arendt, who studied under Jaspers and Heidegger (with whom she had a relationship) is famous for the phrase the banality of evil--which came from her article for the New Yorkers on the 1961 trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem.
Please be gentle its a first draft, pre-lecture, and I've only read the blessed thing once... (which is always the best way to butcher the ideas people far smarter than you are).
Got to run to class...
