Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination: The Holocaust, Plurality, and Resistance
Hannah Arendt and the Idea of Total Domination | Holocaust and Genocide Studies | Oxford Academic
Oct 1, Abstract. Hannah Arendt argued that the goal of totalitarianism was total domination; namely, to eliminate spontaneity and hence to destroy.
Description:Congratulations must be given to Michal Aharony on an excellent and important addition to our understanding of a very complex and challenging subject. Revealing various manifestations of unarmed resistance in the camps, this study demonstrates the persistence of morality and free agency even under the most extreme and de-humanizing conditions, while cautiously suggesting that absolute domination is never as absolute as it claims or wishes to be. Scholars of political philosophy, political science, history, and Holocaust studies will find this an original and compelling book. To achieve this, Aharony engages with both well-known and non-canonical intellectuals and writers who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Full review can be found here: The book is original in its conception, captivating in its conclusions, and extremely clear and well-written.
