PHIL 5230 - After Auschwitz

Centers around what it means to “go on”-to live and function and think-as an agent and as a human being in a world “after Auschwitz,” taken expansively to refer to an entire century of genocides, mass murder, extreme violence, and depredation. Discussion may range across topics in ethics, aesthetics, politics, theology, or metaphysics. A central feature of the course will be to approach the issue in an expansive way, so as to be able to benefit from an array of perspectives (e.g., bringing together Holocaust studies and postcolonial theory, or genocide studies and critical theory).
