Description
The author examines the inadequacies of Goldhagen's argument as measured against specific minimum requirements: it must be clear, consistent, make appropriate moral distinctions, avoid collective judgement of entire groups and provide a framework of analysis that can illuminate not only the example of genocide that is under discussion, but other examples as well.
