 This idea—that a human being could do something that would enact his own transcendence of moral norms, make other persons superfluous, and establish his own status as somehow “beyond good and evil”—is what concerned Karl Jaspers, and what he was hoping Arendt would resist. In her face-to-face confrontation with the quotidian, bureaucratic evil of Adolf Eichmann, she seems to have changed her mind (though see Cesarani 2007 and Margalit 2019 for a portrait of Eichmann that resists her famous “banality thesis”). But even if Arendt ultimately repudiated the repudiative conception of radical evil, others remain sympathetic to some version of it (e.g., Bernstein 2002 and Motzkin 2019).
