[D-G] arendt and benjamin on violence

[Gondo -Minnie]

Hi Hi Ave noted this Arendtian passage, of a text in Revolution, with hopes
  could this cause the list to rotate capitalistically in a self perceptive work,
  in case perhaps conversation could come along.
   
  This is not to say that any dissertation on Artaud, Arendt, especially Walter Benjamin, others, are un welcome. At contrary, it is a suggestion to engage the reflections of F or DG on to these terrain cruciblizied by Hannah Arendt pastly or Walter Benjamin, a way to entice a common List reading of these two or three specific writers.
   
  After we could come back to the Deleuze, after some work has will be have be done.
   
  Sincere Regards

  Compassion & goodness may be related phainomena, but they 're not the same. Compassion plays a role , even an important role , in Billy Budd, but it's topic is goodness beyound virtue and evil beyound vice, and the plot of the story consists in confronting these two.
(...)
Neither Rousseau nor Robespierre was capable of dreaming of a goodness beyound virtue, just as they were unable to imagine that radical evil which would 'partake nothing of the sordid or the sensual' (Melville), that there could be wickedness beyond vice.
That the men of the French Revolution should have been unable to think in these terms, (...) Melville and Dostoyevski, at any rate, even if they have not succeeded to be the writers who could not think like Artaud, they actually both were, certainly in a better position to know what it all had been about.
