Recenzii
Moral Complexity and the Holocaust is the first sustained philosophical treatment of the morality of the Jewish Holocaust that brings together the somewhat paradoxical aspects of enormity and complexity...It is important reading for all those who are struggling to find ways to overcome simplistic understandings of evil.
Of special interest is the book's appendix offering eyewitness testimonies of a number of Holocaust survivors-an unusual feature in a scholarly, academic tome...Recommended.
Beginning with the detailed investigations of Christopher Browning, Fellman explores the complexityof moral decision making in the context of Nazi rule and the Holocaust. By showing that individuals were caught in a complicated "weave" of responsibilities, luck and experience, Fellman challenges our often facile judgment of ordinary individuals caught in such an extraordinary situation. This book is meant to relate not only to Nazi Germany, but to look beyond the Holocaust to the larger issues of responsibility, integrity and morality as these play out in people's lives in the real world.
