"Day two began with a paper by Jawaharlal Nehru University’s Aakash Singh Rathore, titled ‘The Absent Centrality of Sympathy to Aristotle’s Ethics: A Reconstruction’. His proposition (and provocation) being the reinstalling of the missing notion of Sungnome — which he understands as practical reasoning, a more intellectual judgement than Sympatheia — dethroning a purely rationalistic understanding of Phronesis by uncovering Sungnome as a necessary factor to it. He argues that Sungnome as cognitive empathy is needed to supplement Phronesis. This is precisely what Eichmann (who presents as completely rational in his adherence to ‘not-illegal’ orders) lacks in Rathore’s reading of Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil."
