Document Summary
Insistence on truth i. e. indian independence movement to become independent from britain, beyond mere "passive resistance" and became strength in practising non-violent methods. The pursuit of truth do not admit violence being inflicted on one"s opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and compassion and patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on on oneself . A nonviolent movement started by gandhi that included civil disobedience and nonviolent action and required adherents to practice ahimsa in every aspect of their lives. The banality of evil: hannah arendt- humans are not truly evil only a consequence of their environment i. e. nazis in germany (eichmann) Hannah believes eichman is a regular guy who lost ability to think about what to do in the world.
