Institution:

Claremont McKenna College

Subject:

Description:

Eisenstadt According to some thinkers, the event of the Holocaust has called into the question all Western thought that preceded it. In this course, we examine this claim, focusing on the question of whether, after the Holocaust and similar contemporary horrors, theology and philosophy must change in order to speak responsibly. Thinkers include Arendt, Fackenheim, Browning, Bauman, Spiegelman, Voegelin, Adorno, Jabes, and Levinas. Offered every other year.
