摘　　要：阿伦特是20世纪西方极富有特色的政治哲学家。在《反抗"平庸之恶"》文集中,她关注的核心问题是当代的道德困境。阿伦特认为苏格拉底以来的西方思想传统把道德的根基奠定于思考活动之中,即我与自我进行的无声对话中。思考活动的缺位,使得成千上万人成为法西斯主义罪恶的拥趸者和帮凶。这种思考活动缺位的罪恶,就是"平庸之恶"。二战后纽伦堡审判对于法西斯主义罪恶的清算,表面上占据了道德的制高点,但由于思考活动的再次缺席,同样是软弱无力和缺乏深度的。阿伦特对于"平庸之恶"的犀利发现,使其成为鹤立鸡群的孤独者,其言语和行为成为时代思考活动的隐喻。Hannah Arendt was very characteristic western political philosopher in the 20th century. In her book Against the Banality of Evil,she focused on the core issue of contemporary moral dilemmas.In Arendt’s opinion,the western intellectual tradition since Socrates laid the foundation of morals in the thinking activities,namely the silent dialogue between self and ego.The absence of thinking activities made tens of thousands of people the followers and accomplices of the fascism crime.This crime without thinking activities was the “banality of evil”.The exposure and criticism of fascism crime after World War Two in Nuremberg Trials seemed to occupy the moral high ground. However,due to the re-absence of thinking activities,it was still weak and superficial.The “banality of evil”incisively discovered by Arendt made her a loner standing out in the crowd and her words and actions were the metaphor of the thinking activities in that era.
