Thinking of the disaster means understanding why the Shoah was able to occur in civilized Europe, moulded by humane reason and the values of progress and enlightenment. It means thinking of a possibility for philosophy's future. Walter Benjamin, who wrestled with these problems ahead of time, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Emmanuel Levinas had the courage, the strength and the perception-and sometimes simply the desperation-to think about what had happened. Moved by indignation and the desire to testify, they felt the urgent need to address the cries of agony of Auschwitz's victims in their thinking. 410 0$aEmunot. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 676 $a940.5318 700 $aOmbrosi$b Orietta$0447531 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824379503321 996 $aThe twilight of reason$94067999 997 $aUNINA
