The Fate of the Earth & The Abolition Quotes

“EXTERMINATION AS A RADICAL EVIL: The new policies which the extermination of human populations was the objective, states or whole societies were the authors, the instruments of modern science were the means, and for which the concepts of pseudoscience were the rationalization-prompted new thinking about the nature of evil. They precipitated what might be called a crisis in the meaning of evil, by which I mean a crisis in all of the human capacities whereby, once evils have occurred, the world tries, as best it can, to respond to them-to incorporate them into memory and the historical record, to understand them, to take appropriate action against their recurrence.”
― Jonathan Schell, The Fate of the Earth & The Abolition
