Hannah Arendt On Totalitarianism
Moral Equivalence And Degrees Of Evil In Modern Political Violence

To be found at the interstices of the current academic literatures on the relation between history and memory, on the nature and sources of modern political violence, and on the problem of totalitarianism is an idiosyncratic series of questions that has the effect of making the thought of Hannah Arendt acutely relevant. One of these questions—or, at least, the broad question that I have in mind—concerns how the historical experiences of imperialism, Nazism, and Stalinism might be both understood and situated vis-à-vis one another, and how their status and relation might be clarified.
