Beschreibung
This book presents essays dealing with genocide,
totalitarianism and multiculturalism. It starts with a
detailed analysis of the concept of genocide as social death
followed by a reflection of Nazism and Stalinism in the
light of Kierkegaardian concepts of anxiety and stadia of
existence. The third essay discusses different concept(ion)s
of multiculturalism and points to the unacceptability of
multiculturalism understood as axiological levelling of all
cultures. Finally the author applies the concepts of the
theory of citizenship to enlighten the Slovene story under
communism and its consequences. It provides also concrete
data about rather bloody recent history of Slovenia.
Solidary personalism represents the background of all
thinking in this book and the basic ethical measure.
Bojan Zalec is Associate Professor of
Philosophy and Senior Research Fellow at the Faculty of
Theology, University of Ljubljana, working in the fields of
ethics and anthropology.
