Susan Buck-Morss’s ‘Hegel, Haiti and Universal History’ written in 2009 speaks for this moment as well while a history of violence turns over again… (p. 149)
Screenshot of a pdf of the book ‘Hegel, Haiti and Universal History’, page no. 149, with highlighted text that reads: “By the same token, while we may easily share Sala-Molin's moral outrage, discussed in "Hegel and Haiti," at the way European Enlightenment philosophers railed against slavery except where it literally existed, we cannot deny that a comparable moral outrage is occurring at this moment, one that future generations will find just as deplorable (this is our moral hope), the fact that political collectives proclaim themselves champions of human rights and the rule of law and then deny these to a whole list of enemy ex-ceptions, as if humanity itself were the monopoly of their own privileged members-their war a just war, their terrorist acts a moral duty, their death and destruction legitimated by reason, or progress, or the divine.”
