RLST 157 PO - Philosophical Responses to the Holocaust
CrsNo RLST157 PO
When Offered: Offered alternate years; last offered spring 2010.
Instructor(s): O. Eisenstadt
According to some thinkers, the event of the Holocaust has called into question all the Western thought that preceded it. We examine this claim, focusing on the question of whether, after the Holocaust and similar contemporary horrors, theology and philosophy must change in order to speak responsibly. Thinkers taken up include Arendt, Fackenheim, Browning, Bauman, Spiegelman, Voegelin, Adorno, Jabes and Levinas. (PRT)
