This book elaborates Jean Amery's critique of philosophy and his
discussion of some central philosophical themes in At the Mind's
Limits and his other writings. It shows how Amery elaborates the
shortcomings and unfitness of philosophical theories to account for
torture, the experience of homelessness, and other indignities, and
their inability to assist with overcoming resentment. It thus
teases out the philosophical import of Jean Amery's critique of
philosophy, which constitutes his own philosophical testament of
being an inmate at Auschwitz. This book situates At the Mind's
Limits in the context of twentieth-century Continental philosophy.
On the one hand, it elaborates Amery's engagement with key
philosophical figures. On the other hand, it shows how thoroughly
Amery denounces the limits of the philosophical enterprise, and its
impotence in capturing and accounting for the crimes of the Third
Reich.
