For many, the Holocaust made thinking about ethics in traditional ways impossible. It called into question the predominance of speculative ontology in Western thought, and left many arguing that Western political, cultural and philosophical inattention to universal ethics were both a cause and an effect of European civilization''s collapse in the twentieth century.
Emmanuel Levinas, Elie Wiesel and Richard Rubenstein respond to this problem by insisting that ethics must be Western thought''s first concern. Unlike previous thinkers, they locate humanity''s source of universal ethical obligation in the temporal world of experience, where human suffering, rather than metaphysics, provides the ground for ethical engagement. All three thinkers contend that Judaism’s key lesson is that our fellow human is our responsibility, and use Judaism to develop a contemporary ethics that could operate with or without God. Ethics and Suffering since the Holocaust explores selected works of Levinas, Wiesel, and Rubenstein for practical applications of their ethics, analyzing the role of suffering and examining the use each thinker makes of Jewish sources and the advantages and disadvantages of this use. Finally, it suggests how the work of Jewish thinkers living in the wake of the Holocaust can be of unique value to those interested in the problem of ethics in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Presenting a thorough investigation of the work of Levinas, Wiesel and Rubinstein, this book is of key interest to students and scholars of Jewish studies, as well as Jewish ethics and philosophy.

En välutbildad häst är en trygg, hållbar och glad häst. I Forma framtiden för unga hästar delar Jens Fredricson generöst med sig av sina tankar kring grundutbildning, tålamod och ansvar. Med mångårig erfarenhet från såväl hästhoppning på elitnivå, som det vardagliga arbetet i stallet, har Jens byggt upp sin kunskap steg för steg tillsammans med hästarna. På ett pedagogiskt sätt delar han med sig av sin karakteristiskt lugna och eftertänksamma metod, där relationen mellan häst och människa alltid står i centrum. De byggstenar som presenteras fungerar även för vuxna hästar som inte fått rätt grund från början, och hjälper till att stärka förtroendet, kommunikationen och glädjen i det dagliga arbetet. *Jens Fredricson är världs- och europamästare i laghoppning. Han har tidigare varit stallmästare på riksanläggningarna Flyinge och Strömsholm, där han numera är senior rådgivare. Ingrid Andersson är frilansjournalist och författare.
