Specificatii
In 1755 the city of Lisbon was destroyed by a terrible earthquake.
Almost 250 years later, an earthquake beneath the Indian Ocean
unleashed a tsunami whose devastating effects were felt over a vast
area. In each case, a natural catastrophe came to be interpreted as
a consequence of human evil. Between these two events, two
indisputably moral catastrophes occurred: Auschwitz and the bombing
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And yet the nuclear holocaust survivors
likened the horror they had suffered to a natural disaster a
tsunami. Jean-Pierre Dupuy asks whether, from Lisbon to Sumatra,
mankind has really learned nothing about evil. When moral crimes
are unbearably great, he argues, our ability to judge evil is
gravely impaired, and the temptation to regard human atrocity as an
attack on the natural order of the world becomes irresistible. This
impulse also suggests a kind of metaphysical ruse that makes it
possible to convert evil into fate, only a fate that human beings
may choose to avoid. Postponing an apocalyptic future will depend
on embracing this paradox and regarding the future itself in a
radically new way. The American edition of Dupuy s classic essay,
first published in 2005, also includes a postscript on the 2011
nuclear accident that occurred in Japan, again as the result of a
tsunami.
