PHI 3354 - The Holocaust and Forgiveness:Looking in the Abyss

Institution:

St. Francis College

Subject:

Description:

Forgiveness is not a theoretical attitude-it is a decision that one must make. To make this decision in a properly informed way, it is necessary to reflect on the evil against which the possibility of forgiveness is to be measured, and what-if anything-wouldconstitute repentance for such an evil. This course examines the efforts to address these matters with respect to the Holocaust. Among the questions to be considered are: What was the evil of Nazism? Why does it remain a source of fascination? Is it possible for Germany to repent of its past? Is forgiveness possible after Auschwitz? Prerequisite: PHI 2201 or PHI 2203. 3 credits. 3 credits. Offered as needed; day.
