阿伦特的思之困境及其克服——对平庸之恶的深层思考

The Dilemma of Hannah Arendt′s Thinking and Its Outlet--A Further Consideration on the Evil of Banality

汉娜·阿伦特的“平庸之恶”指的是恶出于人的无思想、无判断。她认为这种恶要通过思去制约乃至消除。阿伦特对恶的批判的确一针见血,但她关于思的理论建构破有余而立不够。研究将梳理平庸之恶的背景、内涵及克服平庸之恶的“思”,围绕思的困境展开论述,并试探性寻求思之出路。

Hannah Arendt′s famous"the evil of banality"means that,evil comes from people′s thoughtlessness and no judgment.Arendt believes that such kind of evil needs to be restrained or even eliminated through thinking.Arendt′s criticism of evil is true to the point,but there are still deficiencies in the theoretical construction of thinking.This paper will sort out the background and connotation of the evil of banality,the thinking which overcomes it,and discuss the dilemma of thinking.At the end of the paper,the paper will tentatively put forward the outlet of thinking.
