Overview

The banality of evil is a concept that suggests ordinary, unremarkable people can accept and perpetuate inhuman ideas and actions, often without realizing the full extent of their consequences. According to some sources, the concept has implications for our understanding of human nature, morality, and the dangers of unchecked authority.

Additionally, the banality of evil is often perpetuated by a lack of individual freedom and autonomy, reportedly according to Simone de Beauvoir.
