Paperback. Condition: New. Evil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which people are acting under extreme duress. Today it more frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal to understand them and in the casual turning away of one's ethical gaze. Evil and moral blindness lurk in what we take as normality and in the triviality and banality of everyday life, and not just in the abnormal and exceptional cases. The distinctive kind of moral blindness that characterizes our societies is brilliantly analysed by Zygmunt Bauman and Leonidas Donskis through the concept of adiaphora: the placing of certain acts or categories of human beings outside of the universe of moral obligations and evaluations. Adiaphora implies an attitude of indifference to what is happening in the world - a moral numbness.  In a life where rhythms are dictated by ratings wars and box-office returns, where people are preoccupied with the latest gadgets and forms of gossip, in our 'hurried life' where attention rarely has time to settle on any issue of importance, we are at serious risk of losing our sensitivity to the plight of the other. Only celebrities or media stars can expect to be noticed in a society stuffed with sensational, valueless information. This probing inquiry into the fate of our moral sensibilities will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the most profound changes that are silently shaping the lives of everyone in our contemporary liquid-modern world.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Che cos'e il male oggi? In che modo si puo dire che le sue manifestazioni, le sue spinte, le sue modalita di aggredire il tessuto del mondo e delle persone che lo abitano si siano modificate? Zygmunt Bauman, uno dei piu grandi pensatori viventi, gia nel 1989, con Modernita e olocausto, aveva riletto le atrocita del Terzo Reich sovvertendo l'opinione comune che si fosse trattato un > della Storia e dimostrando che invece la > della modernita aveva raggiunto con l'olocausto il suo risultato piu esemplare. In questo libro Bauman compie un ulteriore decisivo passo avanti nell'identificazione del > ai giorni nostri. E lo fa con una ricognizione delle tesi fallaci che si erano affermate nel Novecento (dalla > di Adorno alla > di Hannah Arendt) per mostrare poi, in un corpo a corpo con le opere di Jonathan Littell e di Gunther Anders, che la presa di distanza dagli esiti dei nostri atti distruttivi (resa non solo possibile, ma obbligata, dalle mirabilia tecnologiche e dalla costrizione > a non sprecare armi la cui produzione ha richiesto quantita esorbitanti di denaro) contribuisce a erodere la nostra sensibilita gia gravemente indebolita e oggi prossima alla cancellazione.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El mal no se limita a la guerra o a las circunstancias en las que se actúa bajo una presión extrema. Hoy en día se manifiesta con más frecuencia en la insensibilidad cotidiana ante el sufrimiento de los demás, en la incapacidad o el rechazo a comprenderlos y en el desvío casual de la mirada ética. En una vida en la que los ritmos están dictados por las guerras de audiencia, la banalización de la cultura y un consumismo acérrimo, rara vez tenemos tiempo para detenernos a considerar temas importantes, por lo que corremos el grave riesgo de perder nuestra sensibilidad ante los problemas de los demás. Esta indagación sobre el destino de nuestra sensibilidad moral será de gran interés para cualquiera que se preocupe por los cambios más profundos que están moldeando silenciosamente nuestras vidas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
