Through the thought of the Ludwig Wittgenstein, Iris Murdoch, J.M. Bernstein, and Charles Taylor, Ashkenazy uncovers the importance and significance of such concepts as transcendence, lose, self, other, love, and home for establishing and maintaining a human life and world, and recovering it, should it be lost. Written with both clarity and academic rigour, this book offers novel ideas, firmly grounded in existing philosophical literature, and is intended for both professional scholars and general readers of Améry. 606 $aContinental philosophy 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aContinental Philosophy 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 14$aContinental Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 676 $a834.91409 676 $a141.3 700 $aAshkenazy$b Yoav$f1973-$01271324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910574078303321 996 $aThe death of transcendence$92994728 997 $aUNINA
