Beskrivning

Religion After Auschwitz is a philosophical approach to the notion of revelation. Following such authors as A. Dulles, R. Swinburne, or K. Ward, Balazs Mezei investigates some of the main problems of revelation and connects them to the general problem of religion today. Religion is considered in the perspective of the age "after Auschwitz", an expression coined by Hans Jonas and further elaborated by J. B. Metz. Mezei develops the insights of these philosophers and investigates various aspects of religion and revelation "after Auschwitz": contemporary theistic philosophy, phenomenology, art, mysticism, and the question of university education today. A fascinating amalgam of subjects and approaches, Religion and Revelation After Auschwitz is an important contribution to contemporary discussions on the possibility of Catholic philosophy.

Recensioner i media

[T]he most precise, searching, and in-depth investigation of a subject whose importance cannot be overestimated if philosophy is to take seriously the existential challenge of Auschwitz. A graceful, careful and lucid discussion... Mezei’s outstanding narrative is unprecedented in scope and detail and will shape future philosophical debates on the relationship between history, personhood, and our individual and collective futures.
