  1. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Life of the Mind, Vol. 1 “Thinking,” Part 3, ch. 18 “The two-in-one” (1977)

  2. _Ethical responsibility_

    Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
    According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). Once the act of naming is not:
    * the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
    * but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
    * then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.
