Descripción
The author contends that instrumentalist thinking is integral both to the defence of theodicy and torture. However, she argues that the Holocaust erodes the defence of torture and theodicy because it confirms the disproportionality between suffering and justice and also the sheer uselessness of suffering. Her chapter concludes with reflections on the currrent debate about torture in the United States.
