Theoretical Interpretations of the Holocaust: Value Inquiry Book Series / Holocaust and Genocide Studies, cartea 108

Dan Stone
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2000
This book aims to show the many resources at our disposal for grappling with the Holocaust as the darkest occurrence of the twentieth century. These wide-ranging studies on philosophy, history, and literature address the way the Holocaust had led to the reconceptualization of the humanities. The scholarly approaches of Pierre Klossowski, Georges Bataille, and Maurice Blanchot are examined critically, and the volume explores such poignant topics as violence, evil, and monuments.
