Description

This text addresses the difficulties posed by the Holocaust for a thinking of forgiveness inherited from the Abrahamic (i.e., monotheistic) tradition. As a way to approach these difficulties, it explores the often radically divergent positions in the debate on forgiveness in the literature of Holocaust survivors. Machine generated contents note: 1. Survival of the Question: Simon Wiesenthal's The Sunflower -- 2. Reading Forgiveness in a Marrano Idiom: (Jacques Derrida) -- 3. Crimes against Humanity or the Phantasm of "We, Men" -- 4. Hyper-Ethics of Irreconcilable Contradictions: Vladimir Jankelevitch.
