Moral vertigo, moral panic, and moral disengagement – searching for handy notions to examine the migrant crisis in Europe
Journal Title: Studies in Global Ethics and Global Education - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue
Abstract
The article is an introductory attempt to find in the vocabulary of ethics and related disciplines such notions that would be able to become descriptive tools for the migrant crisis in Europe. The adopted perspective to tinker on the notions allows to traverse the narrow frames of theoretical ethics and reach for other resources. The paper contains a preliminary analysis of the notions of moral vertigo, moral panic, and moral disengagement, as well as an overview of potential benefits and problems stemming from using those terms.<br/><br/>
