Kurzfassung:
Reflects on the measure and form of guilt of an individual (Eichmann) acting in the name of a totalitarian and immoral state (Nazi Germany). Arendt shows that such a state, striving for the annulment of individuality, deprives the individual of capability to withstand evil; thus, Eichmann cannot be the scapegoat for the criminal system that he represented.
