In section three, Arendt rejects social-scientific views that treat violence as beastly or irrational, arguing it can be rational and instrumental, rooted first in rage at injustice but often misdirected toward substitutes and intensified by hypocrisy, producing terror (e.g., French Revolution) and critiques of “collective guilt.” Rate and review if you like this podcast!
