- W2020759083 abstract "Trying to speak to an evil that a people has suffered, the enormity of which seems unsurpassable, is profoundly humbling. After all, one reasonably asks: What else besides reporting the facts can one do without running the risk of trivializing or distorting or in some way desecrating the memories of those who have suffered so? If there is an Aristotelian mean to be attained here, it is not to refrain entirely from speaking, but rather to be ever so mindful that one may fail to do justice to the enormity of the suffering, one's best efforts and intentions nonwithstanding. Berl Lang masterfully achieves this mean in his very important book Act and Idea in the Nazi Genocide, which is divided into three parts: I. The Presence of Genocide; II. Representations of Genocide; and III. Histories and Genocide. I begin with the first, skip to the third and then return to the second. I would very much like to have discussed Lang's views about forgiving the perpetrators of heinous evil and his assessment of what Robert J. Lifton calls the doubling effect (both in Part I.)1 But as with any view, it is necessary to pass over some themes of enormous interest. In Part II (ch. 5), Lang offers a very rich discussion of Edmund Jabes. This, too, I must leave aside,2 as well as his discussion of Kant." @default.
