Modern Barbarism: A Microstate of Nature?
Abstract
In this paper the author introduces one important consideration related to the analysis of barbarity. According to him there is no only one two sided constellation shaped by the acting subject, the perpetrator, and an subject transformed in an object upon which is done violence, the victim, but a «triangular” constellation in which the observer, morally neutralized, who wilfully forgets actions that «beyond good and evil” does the perpetrator against the victim, is unhide.Keywords
