Ethical Loneliness - The Injustice of Not Being Heard (Hardcover)

Ethical loneliness is the experience of being abandoned by
humanity, compounded by the cruelty of wrongs not being heard. It
is the result of multiple lapses on the part of human beings and
political institutions that, in failing to listen well to
survivors, deny them redress by negating their testimony and
thwarting their claims for justice. Jill Stauffer examines the root
causes of ethical loneliness and how those in power revise history
to serve their own ends rather than the needs of the abandoned. Out
of this discussion, difficult truths about the desire and potential
for political forgiveness, transitional justice, and political
reconciliation emerge. Moving beyond a singular focus on truth
commissions and legal trials, she considers more closely what is
lost in the wake of oppression and violence, how selves and worlds
are built and demolished, and who is responsible for re-creating
lives after they are destroyed. Stauffer boldly argues that
rebuilding worlds and just institutions after violence is a broad
obligation and that those who care about justice must first
confront their own assumptions about autonomy, liberty, and
responsibility before an effective response to violence can take
place. In building her claims, Stauffer draws on the work of
Emmanuel Levinas, Jean Amery, Eve Sedgwick, and Friedrich
Nietzsche, as well as concrete cases of justice and injustice
across the world.
