    The banality of evil (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In her 1963 book, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, the political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase "banality of evil" to describe how mind-boggling atrocities could be committed by ordinary people who conform to rules without examining their actions critically. Arendt coined the term while reporting on the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi official who had organised the logistics of the Holocaust. Arendt's point was that Eichmann had not displayed e

    Death by AI (opens the original)

Photo: BSS Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Secretary-General of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Local Government Minister, has captured the essence of contemporary Bangladesh's place in historical time.
