Shopping for energy bars made with only two ingredients at 7AM inside an overly air-conditioned warehouse is dystopian.

I knew Professor Norman Bentwich, the first professor of International Law at the Hebrew University. A very distinguished British jurist. If I recall correctly, he argued Eichmann should not be hanged in Israel as Israel had no death penalty. I may be incorrect about that, and he may have argued, like Arendt, that it was a matter for an international tribune based on war crimes or crimes against humanity.

Very informative sir! I have an interesting question to entreat of you: When do you think compliance creates complicity?
@positivereadings8909 Ай бұрын
Thank you. Although Arendt doesn't discuss complicity, I think the implication is that certain individuals in the councils were complicit and benefited financially from it. Of course, the alternative was probably death, but it seems to be worse than simple moral cowardice.

Crows pick out the eyes of the dead, when the dead have no longer need of them; but flatterers mar the soul of the living, and her eyes they blind. -Epictetus

I’ve been meaning to read Epictetus. Thanks for the inspiration.

Yes. My impression of Philinte is that he is a philanthrope and foil to Alceste in a manner evocative of Stoics and Cynics.

Seymour Rudin has an essay on Rousseau’s criticism of the play. I haven’t come across any Stoic readings of it. Sounds interesting.

Very high-quality video! I really enjoyed it. The book sounds really intriguing. It's really horrible knowing how the American dream can destroy a person, what is more absurd is that this happened to many people back at that time, and people were at their lowest all because of this "American dream".
