This fundamental question deeply divides those who fear that the term oversimplifies grave problems and those who worry that, to effectively address such issues as terrorism and genocide, we must first acknowledge them as evil. Recognizing that the way we approach this dilemma can significantly affect both the harm we suffer and the suffering we inflict, a distinguished group of contributors engages in the debate with this series of timely a…Read more

220Social structures and their threats to moral agencyPhilosophy 74 (3): 311-329. 1999.Imagine first the case of J (who might be anybody, jemand).
