Abstract

The principal aim of this work is to elucidate problems in the domain of hermeneutical ethics (conceived as a hermeneutics of moral experience) connected to the witnessing war crimes, and speaking about »the unspeakable«. The case study selected for analysis is a cross-genre manuscript of Croatian writer and dramaturgist, Ante Armanini, whose philosophical factual fiction titled Don Juan in War thematizes the unease of witnessing human suffering and writing about it.
