Ā
Hannah Arendt spoke of the banality of evilāthe normalisation of the unutterable, simply because that was how things were in any given place and time. Is evil really so disappointing? We expect evil to be dramatic, unfathomable and remarkable; the workings of a twisted genius, a fallen angel, Iblis. But what if the mediocre perpetuate it, the followers, the weak, the masses? What defines evil? What is the devilās greatest trick in our contemporary world? Some even claim evil no longer existsāif it ever did. The greying morality of postmodernism begs the question of whether one can even be good.
