In each of the chapters, however, the authors tell you at some length about a particular context in which the question they examine has arisen. We call this an illustrative example. It’s an example because for each question there will be many other cases that one could look at in relation to the question and, of course, another case may highlight different issues. But the example chosen will illustrate what issues arise when we explore the question in a particular context. It will show you why the question is important, who is affected by it and what is at stake in responding to it one way or another.
It seems to be ‘common sense’: there seems to be no alternative way to think about it. However, if we want to delve more into how we might respond to the questions that concern us, we need to try to identify some of the assumptions that ground our usual ways of thinking. Knowing (or, rather, trying to think about) what assumptions we start from is standard practice in much academic and scholarly reflection. If we don’t do this, we may end up with answers to our questions that are limited in ways we can’t recognise, and that don’t enable us to think beyond (or even be aware of) the constraints that ‘common sense’ imposes, or come up with useful ways of addressing our concerns.
W. G. Sebald uses slightly different figures. 5 million civilians rendered homeless. 8 in Dresden (Sebald 2004: 3). We know that hundreds of thousands of people died in these raids, though there is no precise figure that is agreed. According to the US Strategic Bombing Survey of September 1945, 305,000 German civilians were killed by bombs and another 780,000 injured (Grayling 2007: 104). A figure of about 600,000 civilian deaths is also often cited. One of the problems in determining the death toll is that human remains could often not be recovered, in particular where bombing had led to a fire storm.
