The question to be addressed in this article is the following: What explains the fact that Adolf Eichmann considered himself alien to the crimes he committed during World War II? The answer to this question requires attending to a series of descriptions of Eichmann and which, with the help of some texts by H. Arendt, I will carry out based on what he himself said during the trial against him in 1961. To offer a complete answer to the question, I try to show that Eichmann’s inability to respond for his actions is conceivable, on the one hand, in the light of the term “promethean unevenness” developed by G. Anders, and, on the other, from E. Husserl’s idea, according to which an ego can voluntarily naturalize its mental states.

Abstract

The question to be addressed in this article is the following: What explains the fact that Adolf Eichmann considered himself alien to the crimes he committed during World War II? The answer to this question requires attending to a series of descriptions of Eichmann and which, with the help of some texts by H. Arendt, I will carry out based on what he himself said during the trial against him in 1961. To offer a complete answer to the question, I try to show that Eichmann’s inability to respond for his actions is conceivable, on the one hand, in the light of the term “promethean unevenness” developed by G. Anders, and, on the other, from E. Husserl’s idea, according to which an ego can voluntarily naturalize its mental states.
