What is the new ethics?

9 January, 2022

Is the new ethics totalitarianism, a threat to democracy and freedom, or an ethical reich? Russian intellectuals talk about the onset of censorship and totalitarianism in the West, critics of the new ethics see Hitler everywhere. Opponents answer them that there is no question of any new concentration camp. Philosophers urge not to rush and think about what the new ethics is all about and what it really means.
