In the English-speaking world Am�ry is known for his poignant publication, At the Mind's Limits, a narrative of exile, dispossession, torture, and Auschwitz. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in Am�ry's writings on victimization and resentment, partly attributable to a modern fascination with tolerance, historical injustice, and reconciliatory ambitions. Many aspects of Am�ry's writing have remained largely unexplored outside the realm of European scholarship, and his legacy in English-language scholarship limited to discussions of victimization and memory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume offers the first English language collection of academic essays on the post-Holocaust thought of Jean Am�ry. Comprehensive in scope and multi-disciplinary in orientation, contributors explore central aspects of Am�ry's philosophical and ethical position, including dignity, responsibility, resentment, and forgiveness. What emerges from the pages of this book is an image of Am�ry as a difficult and perplexing-yet exceptionally engaging-thinker, whose writings address some of the central paradoxes of survivorship and witnessing. The intellectual and ethical questions of Am�ry's philosophies are equally pertinent today as they were half-century ago: How one can reconcile with the irreconcilable? How can one account for the unaccountable? And, how can one live after catastrophe?","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47577221529751,"sku":"9780739147658","price":15248.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780739147658.webp?v=1774902877","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/on-jean-amery-philosophy-of-catastrophe-9780739147658","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
