The banality of evil is a term coined by political theorist Hannah Arendt. Arendt uses the banality of evil to explain the particular psychology of a totalitarian evil. Arendt argues that modern bureaucracies facilitate a kind of self-delusion whereby participants in evil systems do not recognize or acknowledge their participation or culpability in totalitarian regimes. The banality of evil does not look like an evil we recognize. Arendt advances this theory in her seminal work Eichmann in Jerusalem.
