Spirit in Ashes: Hegel, Heidegger, and Man-Made Mass Death
ISBN: 9780300046229 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Contemporary phenomena of mass death--such as Hiroshima and Auschwitz--have brought with them the threat of annihilation of human life. In this provocative and disturbing book, Edith Wyschogrod shows that the various manifestations of man-made mass death form a single structure, a "death-event," which radically alters our understanding of language, time, and self. She contends that the death event has its own logic and driving force that she traces to pre-Socratic philosophy and to certain mythological motifs that recur in Western thought.

An Ethics of Remembering: History, Heterology, and the Nameless Others
ISBN: 9780226920450 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What are the ethical responsibilities of the historian in an age of mass murder and hyperreality? Can one be postmodern and still write history? For whom should history be written?
Edith Wyschogrod animates such questions through the passionate figure of the "heterological historian." Realizing the philosophical impossibility of ever recovering "what really happened," this historian nevertheless acknowledges a moral imperative to speak for those who have been rendered voiceless, to give countenance to those who have become faceless, and hope to the desolate. Wyschogrod also weighs the... What are the ethical responsibilities of the historian in an age of mass murder and hyperreality? Can one be postmodern and still write history? For w...

This newest Rockwell Lecture Series volume features three of the most prominent theologians on the scene today. Milbank and Ward are the leaders of a new theological movement called Radical Orthodoxy, while Wyschogrod is one of our premier postmodernist theologians. Here Milbank argues that a defense of beauty involves a defense of reciprocity, for beauty involves a mediation between the visible and the invisible. In addition, he uses this understanding of beauty to explore the relationship between beauty and the soul, which he defends against the postmodern view of the fragmented self. Ward...
