Review: In ‘Vita Activa: The Spirit of Hannah Arendt,’ a Thinker More Relevant Than Ever

The German-Jewish philosopher, Johanna "Hannah" Arendt is famous for the phrase "the banality of evil," which she coined after observing the trial of Nazi Holocaust organizer Adolph Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961. She devoted her life to writing and speaking about human rights, the importance of thought as (as well as in addition to) action, and the nature of power. (IMDB)

“Vita Activa” includes some especially chilling implications for the current state of American politics. Totalitarianism rested, in Arendt’s view, above all on the systematic refusal to engage reality, on the substitution of ideological fantasy and outright fiction for reason and empiricism. To risk understatement, those tendencies have hardly disappeared from modern society, and may even be stronger than they were at the end of Arendt’s life.
