Unde malum from where does evil come? That is the question that has
plagued humankind ever since Eve, seduced by the serpent, tempted
Adam to taste the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. Throughout history the awareness of good and evil has
always been linked to the awareness of choice and to the freedom
and responsibility to choose this is what makes us human. But the
responsibility to choose is a burden that weighs heavily on our
shoulders, and the temptation to hand this over to someone else be
they a demagogue or a scientist who claims to trace everything back
to our genes is a tempting illusion, like the paradise in which
humans have at last been relieved of the moral responsibility for
their actions. In the second series of their conversations Zygmunt
Bauman and Stanislaw Obirek reflect on the life challenges
confronted by the denizens of the fragmented, individualized
society of consumers and the form taken in such a society by the
fundamental aspects of the human condition - such as human
responsibility for the choice between good and evil, self-formation
and self-assertion, the need for recognition or the call to
empathy, mutual respect, human dignity and tolerance.
