RLST 157 PO - Philosophical Responses to the Holocaust


According to some thinkers, the event of the Holocaust has called into question all of the Western thought that preceded it. In this course, 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.

Instructor: O. Eisenstadt
