Recenzii
"Is there such a thing as an intergenerational "community of justice"? Do we owe solidarity to the dead? Are we morally obliged not to fall into a state of historical amnesia? These are philosophical questions of enormous scope and significance, and James Booth, with his formidable learning, intellectual clarity, and capacious insight, is uniquely well-equipped to do them full justice. This task is even more urgent in a time when certain European governments (in Poland, for instance) have tried to legislate away their responsibility to the past." — Ronald Beiner, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto
"James Booth has given himself a very challenging task: to rationally justify the belief that we have obligations of justice owed to dead victims themselves, not merely to current and future persons who are linked in various ways to them. Drawing on classic Greek and contemporary literary works, he provides a powerful and deeply moving account that argues the dead are gone only in an embodied sense: they remain part of an enduring community all of whose members - past, present, and future - are entitled to just treatment." — Jeffrey Blustein, Professor of Philosophy, City College of New York
