RLST 157 PO -Post-Holocaust Philosophy

Institution: Pomona

Description: According to some thinkers, the event of the Holocaust has called into question all 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)
