As a follow up to a conference on „Nazi Ideology and Ethics“ that took place in Dresden, November 2010 we are looking for additional texts to be published in the conference proceedings.
The conference looked into competing and complimentary explanations for morally relevant (contested) behaviour during the reign of Nazism and examined the ideological and ethical arguments used to justify Nazi racial politics as morally acceptable. It explored the moral considerations and justifications of Nazi perpetrators and the cultural, political and religious ramifications of their actions, including the role of ideological indoctrination, group dynamics and personal motives and interests. Philosophical and ethical considerations were combined with studies of individual and institutional cases of moral challenges.
In particular, we are looking for papers on the following subjects (subjects open to modification):
Jewish ethics as the target of Nazi anti-Semitism
The ethical code of the SS
Working through the moral catastrophe of Nazism: Ethical responses to Nazism in the immediate post-War period
The response of post-Holocaust ethics to Nazism and the Shoah
Nazi Ethics in Gender Perspective
Deadline for submissions: June 2011
Length: up to 10.000 words
Language: English or German
