CALL FOR PAPERS
for a topical issue of Open Philosophy EICHMANN IN JERUSALEM AT SIXTY Open Philosophy (www.degruyter.com/view/j/opphil) invites submissions for a topical issue on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, edited by Trip McCrossin (Rutgers University, United States). Hannah Arendt’s report on the 1961-62 trial and execution of Adolf Eichmann for crimes against humanity appeared in 1963, at first in The New Yorker as “Eichmann in Jerusalem,” and then in book form as Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. Writing at the provocative intersection of journalism, literature, and philosophy, Arendt aspired first and foremost to repair the then conventional understanding of the “evil” that Eichmann and his like embodied and embody still. In doing so, she intervened more broadly in the complex development to date of responses to the age-old “problem of evil”—the perniciously difficult to satisfy “need to find order within those appearances so unbearable that they threaten reason’s ability to go on,” as Susan Neiman has described it (Evil in Modern Thought, 2002, Princeton: Princeton University Press). Eichmann’s no less than “the twentieth century’s most important philosophical [perspective on] the problem,” she urges, and its most controversial, as it has continued to be so far in the twenty-first. Its anniversary provides an occasion to explore anew Arendt’s watershed work and its legacy. All disciplines, methods, and perspectives welcome. Authors interested in contributing to this topical issue are encouraged to reach out in advance with ideas, proposals, abstracts, drafts, and such like, to Trip McCrossin at trip@mccrossin.org.
