520 8 _aEvil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which people are acting under extreme duress. Today, it more frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity to the suffering of others, or in the casual turning away of one's ethical gaze. In this book, the distinctive kind of moral blindness that characterizes our societies is brilliantly analysed by Zygmunt Bauman and Leonidas Donskis through the concept of adiaphora: the placing of certain acts or categories of human beings outside of the universe of moral obligations and evaluations.
