Moral und Gewalt – Wie viel Moral ist in Gewaltsituationen möglich? Ein Blick aus der Perspektive Zygmunt Baumans

Abstract

In this article, using Zygmunt Bauman’s postmodern ethics, I will try to answer the question of how much morality is possible in violent situations. First, it describes briefly the characteristics of moral action from the perspective of postmodern ethics, and clarifies what is meant by » violence« here. After these preliminary remarks, it is explained what to do about violence and how to be moral in this interventionalist action. With these clarifications it is finally considered which contemporary conditions prevail for morality in violent situations.
