Hannah Arendt - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 1: Bonus 5

A book by this philosopher traces the “specific Jewish responsibility” for antisemitism to European Jews’ unconditional loyalty to the state. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this philosopher who analyzes a form of government exemplified by Nazism and Stalinism in The Origins of Totalitarianism.

ANSWER: Hannah Arendt [or Johanna Arendt]

[10m] Because totalitarian terror makes “all men … equally superfluous,” Arendt claims that it exemplifies this two-word Kantian concept, which is the human propensity to desire things contrary to the moral law.

ANSWER: radical evil [or das radikal Böse]

[10h] Arendt argues that totalitarianism rose from societies defined by this isolated figure, who ignores “everyday problems” to “[work] for a great task.” In a 1930 book, another philosopher outlined how this figure adopts the “psychology of the spoiled child” and is content to remain mediocre.

ANSWER: the mass-man [or mass-men or el hombre-masa; reject “the mass(es)”] (The latter account of the mass-man is from José Ortega y Gasset’s The Revolt of the Masses)
