Aan de hand van de strafzaak tegen Eichmann onderzoekt filosoof en jurist Klaas Rozemond of de klassieke opvatting over het menselijke kwaad moet worden herzien.0Het morele bewustzijn van de dader is het klassieke kenmerk van het menselijke kwaad. Daarvan is sprake wanneer een mens welbewust schade aan anderen toebrengt, terwijl hij weet dat zijn gedragingen immoreel en misdadig zijn. In haar boek 'Eichmann in Jeruzalem' stelt Hannah Arendt dat de oorlogsmisdadiger Adolf Eichmann niet voldeed aan deze klassieke opvatting. Volgens Arendt miste Eichmann het vermogen om na te denken en te oordelen over zijn eigen misdaden. Hij was zich er niet van bewust dat hij door de deportaties van de Joden naar de vernietigingskampen te organiseren betrokken was bij een enorm kwaad.00In zijn boek bespreekt Klaas Rozemond onder meer Arendts opvatting over de banaliteit van het kwaad, Eichmanns verdediging, en het vonnis van de rechtbank in Jeruzalem. Daarnaast analyseert hij het geweten van nazi?s en andere Duitsers tijdens de Holocaust, het gehoorzaamheidsexperiment van Milgram, het kwaad van Kaïn uit de Bijbel en van Callicles uit de Gorgias van Plato, het idee van het radicale kwaad volgens Arendt en Kant, het kwaad van Auschwitz en Westerbork, en de opvattingen van hedendaagse filosofen over het kwaad. Zijn conclusie is dat de klassieke opvatting inderdaad moet worden herzien. Niet het morele bewustzijn van de dader, maar het oordeel van de rechter en de toeschouwers is bepalend voor de vraag of de dader een vorm van kwaad heeft begaan

Religion, ethics and philosophies of life represent a delicate area where people can be oriented in a particular direction, without the possibility to react in a critic way. Today, people in democratic societies are extremely sensitive as regards the influence of churches, religions, life visions. Many adults, particularly young adults, recognize the conditioning rituals and indoctrinations strategies easily as contradictory to the intentions proclaimed officially. Many questions of personal values and ethics inevitability arise for individuals in the academic community. The Church on campus facilitates the formation of Christian conscience in its members so that they could make decisions based on gospel values and, thereby, resist moral relativism. Campus ministry is an expression of Church's special desire to be present to all who are involved in higher education. The Church on campus is challenged to be a sign of unity and living reminder of the essential interdependence and solidarity of all people.
