| Opplysninger | "A defining and tragic feature of recent history, as seen in the Holocaust, ethnic cleansing, civil wars and the systematic persecution of certain racial and ethnic groups, is the attempt to deny and strip human beings of their humanity, where human beings are regarded and treated as inhuman or subhuman. Yet the very nature of dehumanization remains relatively poorly understood. The Routledge Handbook of Dehumanization is the first comprehensive reference source on the subject and an outstanding survey of the key concepts, issues and debates within dehumanization. Organized into four clear parts, the Handbook covers the following key topics: The history of humanization and dehumanization from the Enlightenment to the Twentieth century Victims of dehumanization: including genocide, race, disability, gender and immigration Ethical and legal aspects of dehumanization: including crimes against humanity, discrimination, hate speech, speciesism, and animal ethics; Conceptual and epistemological aspects: essentialism, measurement, the emotions and the future of dehumanization studies. Essential reading for students and researchers in ethics, political philosophy and moral psychology this Handbook will also be of interest to those in related disciplines such as politics, international relations, social psychology and race and ethnic studies, as well as anyone studying the nature of genocide and crimes against humanity"--
