Can One Live After Auschwitz? - Theodor Adorno

. .

Résumé :
Can One Live after Auschwitz? provides a very useful cross-section of Adorno's work on the task of thought after the Holocaust.--The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory
Despite his conviction that no philosophy could presume to approach an event like Auschwitz, this collection of Adorno's essays and aphorisms attests to his extraordinary effort to regard human suffering as the precondition of thought and as the undoing of all claims to totality. Adorno's cultural criticism emerges here as a moral philosophy for a 'world that has outlived its own demise.'
