PL 379 - Ethics after Auschwitz (3)

This course will center around what it means to ‘go on,’ to live, and to exist and act as an ethical agent in a world ‘after Auschwitz,’ i.e., after a century of genocides and mass death. Throughout the course, we will focus on the ways in which 20th Century thinkers assessed and responded to a century of mass murder, what they thought it revealed about humanity and society, and especially what it suggests or proposes about our future, as humans. 2015 CORE: Belief & Reason, Contribute, Global Studies.
