Essentially, Arendt states that aside from a desire for improving his career, Eichmann showed no trace of Anti-Semitism or psychological damage. She called him the embodiment of the "banality of evil," as he appeared at his trial to have an ordinary and common personality, displaying neither guilt nor hatred, claiming he bore no Responsibility because he was simply "doing his job", which was supposed to be in accordance with Kant 's Categorical Imperative . Arendt suggested that this most strikingly discredits the idea that the Nazi criminals were manifestly psychopathic and different from common people. From this document, many concluded that situations such as the Holocaust can make even the most ordinary of people to commit horrendous crimes with the proper incentives, but Arendt adamantly disagreed with this interpretation, as Eichmann was Voluntarily following the '' Führerprinzip ''. |
