| Sumario: | The first part of this article analizes the concepts of responsability and culpability, developed by the German philosopher Karl Jaspers in 1946 in his book Die deutsche Schuld (The German culpability) concerning Nazy Germany’s crimes. He invited his compatriots to an examination of conscience on these problems, but his voice remained isolated in a society whose main aspiration was to forget the Nazi past. Since the Sixties, however, the Federal Republic started a memory work that is still going on. The second part of the article discusses the possibility of applying Jaspers’s concepts to the Argentinian society during and after the dictatorship of 1976-1983. |
