Abstract

In the search for an understanding of the complexities that could have led such a “banal” man as Adolf Eichmann, to stand trial in Jerusalem for crimes against Humanity – in the humanity of the Jewish People – one ought to go beneath the surface of contemporary events into the roots of an overwhelming hatred that enslaved Europe for far too long and with consequences beyond what imagination could have conceived within the limits of reason alone. In the pursuit for the “black hole” that brought European nations to a virtual ethical collapse, seriously damaging the capacity to exercise judgment, this article approaches one of the background dimensions of anti-Semitism which enabled the actions of men to structure evil in all but a “banal” manner. The second part of this study seeks alternative ways to conceive a relation between Judaism and Christianity.
压倒性的复杂性:罗马与耶路撒冷之间
阿道夫-艾希曼这样一个 "平庸 "的人因反人类罪--反犹太民族的人类罪--而在耶路撒冷受审,在寻求对其复杂性的理解时,我们应该深入到当代事件的表象之下,探究压倒性仇恨的根源,这种仇恨奴役欧洲太久,其后果超出了仅凭理性所能想象的范围。在寻找使欧洲各国陷入道德崩溃、严重损害判断能力的 "黑洞 "的过程中,本文探讨了反犹太主义的一个背景维度,它使人们的行为能够以一种 "平庸 "的方式构建邪恶。本研究的第二部分寻求以其他方式构想犹太教与基督教之间的关系。
