Textul de pe ultima copertă
This
book
elaborates
Jean
Améry’s
critique
of
philosophy
and
his
discussion
of
some
central
philosophical
themes
in At
the
Mind’s
Limits and
his
other
writings.
It
shows
how
Améry
elaborates
the
shortcomings
and
unfitness
of
philosophical
theories
to
account
for
torture,
the
experience
of
homelessness,
and
other
indignities,
and
their
inability
to
assist
with
overcoming
resentment.
It
thus
teases
out
the
philosophical
import
of
Jean
Améry's
critique
of
philosophy,
which
constitutes
his
own
philosophical
testament
of
being
an
inmate
at
Auschwitz.
This
book
situates At
the
Mind’s
Limits in
the
context
of
twentieth-century
Continental
philosophy.
On
the
one
hand,
it
elaborates
Améry’s
engagement
with
key
philosophical
figures.
On
the
other
hand,
it
shows
how
thoroughly
Améry
denounces
the
limits
of
the
philosophical
enterprise,
and
its
impotence
in
capturing
and
accounting
for
the
crimes
of
the
Third
Reich.
