Responsibility and Judgment

Responsibility and Judgment

Responsibility and Judgment gathers together unpublished writings from the last decade of Arendtâ€™s life, where she addresses fundamental questions and concerns about the nature of evil and the making of moral choices. At the heart of the book is a profound ethical investigation, â€œSome Questions of Moral Philosophy,â€ in which Arendt confronts the inadequacy of traditional moral â€œtruthsâ€ as standards to judge what we are capable of doing and examines anew our ability to distinguish good from evil and right from wrong. We also see how Arendt comes to understand that alongside the radical evil she had addressed in earlier analyses of totalitarianism, there exists a more pernicious evil, independent of political ideology, whose execution is limitless when the perpetrator feels no remorse and can forget his acts as soon as they are committed.

Responsibility and Judgment is an indispensable investigation into some of the most troubling and important issues of our time.
