Edmund Burke was an Irish statesman, economist, and philosopher. Born in Dublin, Burke served as a member of Parliament (MP) between 1766 and 1794 in the House of Commons of Great Britain with the Whig Party. Burke was a proponent of underpinning virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religious institutions for the moral stability and good of the state. These views were expressed in his A Vindication of Natural Society. He criticised the actions of the British government towards the American colonies, including its taxation policies. Burke also supported the rights of the colonists to resist metropolitan authority, although he opposed the attempt to achieve independence. He is remembered for his support for Catholic emancipation, the impeachment of Warren Hastings from the East India Company, and his staunch opposition to the French Revolution. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." This means that if you allow something inherently bad or evil to happen when you know or experience that what happened is morally wrong, then you allow "evil" to win and succeed, it "Victory". You may feel that you can't interfere because "it's none of your business". Or you're afraid you'll be the next target. Or, maybe, you think other people will come forward and say something. Or you think you can't make time for it. Or you might even think you misjudged the situation. Or someone will act or say something for you. Despite all the possible reasons on Earth, we let evil prevail because we are afraid of being unpopular, afraid, or, obviously, not caring. The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them and do nothing. "good men to do nothing." The Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" on the trial of Adolf Eichmann, in which he proposed the concept of "The Banality of Evil". The so-called "banality of evil" refers to giving up independent thinking, completely assimilating individuals into the system, obeying the arrangements of the system, acquiescing to the immoral or even anti-moral behavior implicit in the system itself, or to become an immoral system without questioning. practitioners. Even if the conscience is slightly disturbed, it still relies on the system to provide a non-moral justification for one's otherizing indifference, thereby removing the individual's moral fault. Eichmann was "not insidious, nor vicious," and was not at all like a wicked executioner who sat courteously on the judgment seat and was hanged. During his trial, he repeatedly declared, "My whole life has been lived in accordance with Kant's moral decrees, and all my actions come from Kant's definition of responsibility." "I am a part of the gear system, just playing the role of transmission", "As a citizen, I believed that what I did was permitted by the laws of the country at the time; as a soldier, I was just obeying and carrying out the orders of my superiors," these are common features of "banal evil." "good men to do nothing" is equivalent to "the banality of evil".
