Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil - Wo es war
Alain Badiou
Examines the assumptions behind the "ethical turn" in political and academic agendas which serve to reinforce the ideology of the status quo. The author demonstrates how an ethics conceived in terms of negative human rights and tolerance of "difference" cannot underpin a coherent concept of evil.
