Drawing on inter-disciplinary perspectives from philosophy, theology, literature and film, this book presents a vision of ethics influenced by the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. Jeremy Hall addresses the challenges of French postmodernism and shows how literature can play an important role in deconstructing the standardised morality in an ideology. Focusing on the Holocaust, Soviet Communism and Apartheid, Hall examines both ideology and the literature they have inspired. The contexts prompt wider exploration of contemporary ethics and theology, bearing on issues of narrative, memory and ethical responsibility.
