Summary/Abstract: In her work, Hannah Arendt has devoted a great attention on the character of the crisis in the modern society. To achieve this, she needed to understand the past and she often repeated the William Faulkner’s aphorism: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”Therefore, those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it, because the world we live in, is a world that comes to us from the past. Her reflections on the notion of the responsibility have taken a special importance for every society that emerges from a totalitarian regime, especially when her work about Eichmann’s process was criticized.
