Resumo
The aim of this article is to provide a panoramic exposition of Hannah Arendt’s thought about the issue of evil. In order to achieve this task, I will pose briefly Kant’s approach of ‘radical evil’, which had an enormous relevance for Arendt. Then, I will point out the stance held by her in The Origins of Totalitarianism and later to explain the way Arendt changed her mind after Eichmann in Jerusalem, particularly through the term ‘banality of evil’. Finally, I advocate that both notions constitute not only a continuity but also they are compatible each other.
