La era de las tres fobias, consecuencia del síndrome hybris y la banalidad del mal

Abstract

This article seeks to explore the meaning of the hubris syndrome and its relationship to Hannah Arendt’s concept of “the banality of evil,” a concept that ultimately feeds into and merges with the former. This amalgamation gives rise to what has been termed “the era of the three phobias,” namely: “Aporophobia, Kalokratophobia, and Ecophobia”—categories that frame three major contemporary realities reflected in migration crises, the interference of some states in the political decisions of other nations, and environmental degradation; a situation that, although it had already begun to manifest centuries ago, had not become as acute or as visible and evident as it is now for all the inhabitants of the globe.
