SUMMARY:

The faculty of thinking is a theme deeply addressed by Arendt in his work The Life of the Spirit (1977). However, when analyzing the Eichmann trial, the partisan of the Nazi totalitarian regime responsible for driving thousands of Jews to their deaths, it will corroborate the implications of the reflective thought process or its absence. In analysis of the facts that could have led, not only Eichmann, but anyone else to committing atrocious and unimaginable acts, the German philosopher ponders the origins and bases necessary for the establishment of a totalitarian system in society. talking in detail from the process of massification of man to the moment of obtaining soldiers with 'blind and cadaverous' obedience, the thinker elaborates concepts and extremely important analyses. The concept of the banality of evil associated with the inability to thinking, developed by the author in view of the analysis of Eichmann's judgment, will configure the idea that the faculty of judging is directly linked to the faculty of thinking: if the what is aimed at is a measured, sensible and consequently wise judgment, and not a judgment based on alienation. The faculty of thinking in its reflective character establishes a condition that can lead man to better judge, and, in this way, abstain from to commit evil.
