Críticas
This volume, a welcome addition to scholarship on Jean Amery, examines his work from various perspectives. The collection consists of essays analyzing Amery's uvre from a philosophical, linguistic, and literary point of view. Scholars from Australia, the United States, Canada, Poland, Denmark, and Austria draw on a wide variety of theoretical frameworks, entering into a cross-disciplinary dialogue with each other, while employing the latest research findings to bring Amery's often forceful, provocative argumentation into focus. Whereas his essays have hitherto received attention in the German-speaking world, Zolkos' merit has been to assemble contributions in English about the uvre of this survivor of Auschwitz. It is rewarding to see Amery's essayistic, journalistic and literary work, which continues to be relevant in today's world, finally granted the global attention it merits. -- Petra Fiero, Western Washington University, Bellingham Jean Amery, Austrian Jew, resistance fighter and Auschwitz survivor was one of the most perceptive and provocative commentators on resentment, human dignity, the loss of trust in the world, guilt, and the bodily moral significance of living through brutal torture. Until recently he has been barely known in the Anglo-American world. But it is becoming increasingly evident how relevant his exquisite thinking is to the tangled issues that continue to trouble and haunt us. This splendid collection of essays-the first of its kind in English-explores the depths and significance of his thinking for our own time. Anyone concerned with the intractable moral and political problems that still confront us will be stimulated by these thoughtful essays. -- Richard J. Bernstein, Professor of Philosophy, New School for Social Research This noteworthy interdisciplinary and international anthology of essays addressing the works of Jean Amery bears eloquent witness to the continuing impact of Amery's own impassioned, importunate voice. Not even Auschwitz could silence Amery, and this fine collection helps assure that the call to continuing resistance, and to the genuine liberation only such resistance can offer-the call that his works and his life, up to and including his own voluntary death, so consistently and insistently sounded-will continue to sound and resound today, and beyond, for all of our sakes. -- Frank Seeburger, University of Denver

On Jean Amry (Hardcover)
Anbieter: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. On Jean Amery provides a comprehensive discussion of one of the most challenging and complex post-Holocaust thinkers, Jean Amery (1912-1978), a Jewish-Austrian-Belgian essayist, journalist and literary author. In the English-speaking world Amery is known for his poignant publication, At the Mind's Limits, a narrative of exile, dispossession, torture, and Auschwitz. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in Amery's writings on victimization and resentment, partly attributable to a modern fascination with tolerance, historical injustice, and reconciliatory ambitions. Many aspects of Amery's writing have remained largely unexplored outside the realm of European scholarship, and his legacy in English-language scholarship limited to discussions of victimization and memory.This volume offers the first English language collection of academic essays on the post-Holocaust thought of Jean Amery. Comprehensive in scope and multi-disciplinary in orientation, contributors explore central aspects of Amery's philosophical and ethical position, including dignity, responsibility, resentment, and forgiveness. What emerges from the pages of this book is an image of Amery as a difficult and perplexing-yet exceptionally engaging-thinker, whose writings address some of the central paradoxes of survivorship and witnessing. The intellectual and ethical questions of Amery's philosophies are equally pertinent today as they were half-century ago: How one can reconcile with the irreconcilable? How can one account for the unaccountable? And, how can one live after catastrophe?
