CAMPS AND GENOCIDE, A CONTEMPORARY BIOPOLITICAL PARADIGM OF MASS CRIMES: INAUGURATION OF HISTORICAL AND COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MASS CRIMES, M. HEIDEGGER AND K. JASPERS

Summary/Abstract: In this text, the Nazi concentration camps and the Genocide in Srebrenica are observed in the same socio-historical and cultural civilization context. Concentration camps and genocide are in general a contemporary biopolitical paradigm of mass war crimes in the modern world. As such, they are subject to numerous contemporary philosophical, theological, scientific research, analysis and understandings. Here they are examined in the context of the philosophies of M. Heidegger, G. Agamben, H. Arendt, H. Jonas etc. Massive war crimes against humanity through camps and genocide are political interventions in biology. Their aim is to biologically destroy or exterminate an ethnic or religious group and is practically carried out as so-called ethnic cleansing of some area. As the intellectual and political denazification of Nazism has been carried out, such a holistic approach to the observation and understanding of the Genocide in Srebrenica is needed. The carriers of this process, as those who are especially called upon and responsible for doing that, due to the most profound professional, moral, political, cultural, civilizational, and all other needs and reasons are intellectuals, theologians, politicians, but also everyone else. For us, this requires a future in which such a terrible horror would not be repeated. Particular attention in this text is dedicated to the issue of guilt and responsibility for mass war crimes such as camps and genocide from the perspective of Karl Jaspers' philosophy. It was noted that the guilt and responsibility in the case of genocide in Srebrenica irregularly entered into the law, that it was reduced to criminal responsibility. Therefore, in this paper, on the trail of Jaspers' philosophy, the attention was paid to the fact that this, like all other historical events of the mass war crimes against humanity, in terms of guilt and responsibility, it is necessary to consider, not only as criminal-legal, but also as political, ethical and metaphysical.
