Summary

What we call the ethics of "Never again" connects the evils of nature with evil constructed by humans in the cosmopolitan consciousness of our times. It is the awareness of catastrophe and the contingencies of life and death. "Never again" connects universal principles with particular concerns. It tries to produce a sociology of morality by looking at past crimes and how they are remembered and politicized.
