Textul de pe ultima copertă
Rising from the Ruins is an assessment of reason, being, and the good in a world fractured by the passage of the Shoah, or Holocaust. The historical character of evil that appeared in the Shoah damaged the relationship of human existence to being, creating a time when the confidence of reason to possess the truth no longer exists. Rising from the Ruins relocates the relationships among being, reason, and the good in terms of a metaphysics, ethics, and politics that derive from faith and heteronomy. Rather than another attempt to document the horror of the Shoah, this book chronicles what the world is like for those who have read and listened to previous accounts. Rising from the Ruins doesn't celebrate surviving the Holocaust; instead, it speaks of a rationality that sees truth and the good through the eyes of suffering and the silence of death. Such a rationality, Gillan suggests, looks more like faith, and it takes its place among the sweat and tears of common men and women who are dedicated to building a human city, populated with children, the poor, the sick, and the aged.
