Hannah Arendt is one of the great thinkers in twentieth-century political philosophy. After reporting on the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, Arendt embarked on a series of reflections about how to make judgments and exercise responsibility in the face of immoral law. This course uses Hannah Arendt's text Eichmann in Jerusalem to examine major themes in legal theory, including the nature of law, legal authority, the duty of citizens, the nexus between morality and law and political action. It is designed to enrich critical thinking skills and will prepare students for facing future political problems. |
