The Banality of Good and Evil: Moral Lessons from the Shoah and Jewish Tradition (Moral Traditions & Moral Arguments)

Drawing from his course, "The Problem of Evil: A Social Psychological Approach" at Emory University, Blumenthal combines Jewish tradition with insights from the social sciences to analyze the contrasting extremes of human behavior towards others. Then he discusses how to apply the analysis to the moral education of young children, describing methods and approaches that can be used in civil society as well as in faith-based institutions.
