Abstract

The book review discusses "Perpetrator Disgust: The Moral Limits of Gut Feelings" by Ditte Marie Munch-Jurisic, which explores the bodily responses of perpetrators experiencing disgust, distress, and discomfort during atrocities. The author argues that these reactions do not necessarily indicate inherent morality but are influenced by complex factors. The book delves into various interpretations of perpetrator disgust, emphasizing the role of context in shaping emotions and moral responses. While the review raises some questions about the book's conclusions, it acknowledges the thorough and thought-provoking nature of Munch-Jurisic's work. [Extracted from the article]
