The Double Binds of Ethics after the Holocaust sheds new light on the ethical repercussions of the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Contributors focus on two key dilemmas: first, that the Holocaust did immense harm to ethics by undermining confidence in beliefs about the fundamental status of ethical values, including human rights. Second, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides have destroyed confidence that human beings will fulfill their moral obligations better "next time." Responding to these double binds, the contributors to this book explore what can be done in ethical theory and...

Two German philosophers working during the Weimar Republic in Germany, between the two World Wars, produced seminal texts that continue to resonate almost 100 years later. Franz Rosenzweig and Martin Heidegger, a Jewish thinker and a philosopher who at one time was studying to become a Roman Catholic Priest, each in their own, particular way include in their writings powerful philosophies of art that, if approached phenomenologically and ethically, provide keys to understanding their radically divergent trajectories, both biographically and for their philosophical heritage. Simon provides a...

" Nous avons vu emettre, il y a quelques annees, bien des projets pour changer le sort des ouvriers. Aucun n'a abouti. On n'a rien fait parce qu'on a voulu trop faire, et parce qu'on a cru pouvoir improviser dans une matiere tres difficile. Pour faire reellement du bien aux ouvriers, il ne faut pas etudier les reformes en pleine revolution; la peur et la colere conseillent mal. C'est dans le calme, dans la profonde paix, quand le pesant marteau des usines resonne sans relache, quand les manufactures regorgent de commandes, et que le public commence a perdre tout doucement le souvenir des...

" ... Spinoza, inconnu pendant sa vie, l'est encore plus apres sa mort. Cette longue malediction qui s'attache a sa memoire a sauve son nom de l'oubli sans populariser sa doctrine.

" La peine de mort etait un de nos grands sujets de controverse; car il avait renonce de bonne grace a ma conversion, et il me disait souvent avec un gros soupir, en me mettant ses mains sur les epaules: Tu es perdu Je ne me lassais pas de l'interroger sur les condamnes qu'il avait assistes a la mort, et surtout sur ceux que j'avais connus avant leur condamnation; il y en avait plus d'un. Il avait une singuliere maladie d'esprit: il les croyait tous innocents, et cela, du fond de son ame. Je crois bien qu'il n'excluait pas de cette absolutionuniverselle ceux qui lui avaient avoue leur...
