Rising From the Ruins
In the wake of the Holocaust, which is perceived as reflecting the inhumanity of humans and the absence of God, attempts to provide a philosophical re-examination of the roles and interrelations of reason, being, and the good. Morality and politics are considered under a new moral imperative, where reason is informed by faith and autonomy is limited by mutuality. Investigates the intellectual problems of a post-Auschwitz age in the context of the desire to build a society with a place for suffering humans.
