Answer:
This is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take a look at the passage where Hinman speaks of the villagers from Le Chambon:
When we look at the villagers of Le Chambon, we are not only struck by what they did but also by who they were. We are struck by what good people they were. Their goodness did not seem to stem from any Kantian test of universality or utilitarian calculus of consequences. It came from the heart— from who they were as persons.
The villagers he is speaking of were responsible for saving the lives of thousands of Jews when Nazism was terrorizing Europe. When the Nazi soldiers got hold of one man, the villagers surrounded the bus where he was sitting and gave him precious, rationed food. When he returned and tried to give them their gifts back, they wouldn't accept it. Their actions, according to Hinman, had no purpose or gain for themselves. They did what they did simply because they were good people, because they had goodness in their hearts.
