The murder of six million Jewish men, women, and children during
World War II was an act of such barbarity as to constitute one of
the central events of our time; yet a list of the major concerns of
professional philosophers since 1945 would exclude the Holocaust.
This collection of twenty-three essays, most of which were written
expressly for this volume, is the first book to focus
comprehensively on the profound issues and philosophical
significance of the Holocaust. The essays, written for general as
well as professional readers, convey an extraordinary range of
factual information and philosophical reflection in seeking to
identify the haunting meanings of the Holocaust. Among the
questions addressed are: How should philosophy approach the
Holocaust? What part did the philosophical climate play in allowing
Hitlerism its temporary triumph? What is the philosophical climate
today and what are its probable cultural effects? Can philosophy
help our culture to become a bulwark against future agents of evil?
The multiple dimensions of the Holocaust historical, sociological,
psychological, religious, moral, and literary are collected here
for concentrated philosophical interpretations. Alan Rosenberg is a
Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at Queens College of the City
University of New York. Gerald E. Myers is Professor of Philosophy
at Queens College and CUNY Graduate Center.
