The Nature of Good & Evil by Samuel P Oliner
Samuel P. Oliner's exploration of The Nature of Good and Evil is informed by his grasp of history, his mastery of sociology and the authority of his own experience as one who as a young child of the Holocaust experienced the nature of both good and evil when he was rescued by a Polish non-Jew at the risk of her life. In this work, by concentrating on the Holocaust, the Armenian and Rawandan genocides, Oliner has further solidified his well deserved reputation as a scholar of insight and discernment into an area often left to philosophers and theologians and he has enriched our vocabulary to comprehend both good and evil while enlarging our moral imagination. This is a valuable contribution to the field of research and an even more valuable contribution to moral discourse in our age of atrocity.--Mich'l Berenbaum, author of After Tragedy and Triumph.
