This volume explores themes originating from the work of Jean Amery
(1912-1978), a Holocaust survivor and essayist-mainly, ethics and
the past, torture and its implications, death and suicide. The
volume is interdisciplinary, bringing together contributions from
philosophy, psychology, law, and literary studies to illuminate
each of the topics from more than one angle. Each essay is a novel
contribution, shedding new light on the relevant subject matter and
on Jean Amery's unique perspective. The ensuing picture is rich and
multifaceted, uncovering unforeseen traits of Amery's thought, and
surprising correlations that have so far been under-researched. It
invites further studies of the Holocaust and its consequences to
take their cue from non-neutral first person reflections.
