Abstract:After covering the trial of Adolf Eichmann, which ended in 1962, Hannah Arendt turned increasingly to the life of the mind, man in the singular rather than the men in their plurality she'd long insisted upon. To understand how we might avoid future evil by developing our capacities for thinking and judgment, Arendt drew on Socrates's idea of the individual as "two-in-one." Here, I use Flannery O'Connor's story "Revelation" to illustrate Arendt's conception of two-in-one. Finally, I consider how another O'Connor story, "The Displaced Person," challenges the reader to become "two in one" herself.

弗兰纳里·奥康纳 (Flannery O'Connor) 的特平夫人、汉娜·阿伦特 (Hannah Arendt) 的阿道夫·艾希曼 (Adolf Eichmann) 和棚车梦

摘要:在报道了 1962 年结束的阿道夫·艾希曼 (Adolf Eichmann) 的审判之后,汉娜·阿伦特 (Hannah Arendt) 越来越关注心灵生活,即单一的人,而不是她长期以来一直坚持的多元化的人。为了理解我们如何通过发展我们的思考和判断能力来避免未来的邪恶,阿伦特借鉴了苏格拉底关于个人“二合一”的观点。在这里,我用弗兰纳里·奥康纳的故事《启示录》来说明阿伦特的二合一构想。最后,我考虑另一个奥康纳的故事,“流离失所的人”,如何挑战读者自己成为“二合一”。
