Civilian Participants in the Cultural Revolution

Being Vulnerable and Being Responsible

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

During the Cultural Revolution, a huge number of ordinary civilians were involved in inflicting pain and suffering on their comrades, colleagues, friends, neighbours, and even family members. Mok asks how we should asses the moral responsibility of these wrongdoers, if any, for the harm they did both voluntarily and involuntarily.
