Sam Considering that you went from "angry about the potato famine" to "anti-Semite" in the blink of an eye I don't know what to make of your assertion that Heidegger was a Nazi. If so I am not aware of it, but I don't know squat about the man. If anyone else knows I'd appreciate a rational voice on this. Otherwise I guess I'll have to look it up. But it's a side issue.
I don't believe you have read the book. It was not a defense of Eichmann. It concluded that he deserved to be put to death.. Along the way it expressed some very complex thoughts about the capacity of most people for evil. It is this that it is best known for and this, I think, that Churchill was referring to when he called the people in the twin towers Eichmanns. His argument actually derives in a straight line from Socrates and the hemlock and although I disagre with it and with the language in which it is presented, is pretty respectable in its logic. Nor am I in any way shape or form defending Eichmann or anyone else that commits mass murder. I resent the allegation that I would want to and frankly that thought makes me doubt your sanity. Get this straight. If I say a post may upset you this is not an invitation to read it. If you must read it anyway think before you call me vile things. Try to stay connected to reality, and preferably leave me out of your thoughts. Thank you.
