| Abstract | On what precondition can obedience be called a virtue? The author tries to answer this question by discussing Hannah Arendt's analysis of the Eichmann case, as an example of the dark side which obedience can have. Secondly, he focuses on the lesson to be learned from Arendt's analysis and the consequences this has for military training and education. In describing these consequences, both Socrates and Nietzsche will play a leading role. (edited) |
