Reeve Robert Brenner

Many speak for and about the survivors of the Holocaust, but until now, no one has spoken to them as Rabbi Brenner has done. The Faith and Doubt of Holocaust Survivors reveals the victims' frank and thought-provoking answers to searching questions about their experiences: Was the Holocaust God's will? Was there any meaning or purpose in the Holocaust? Was Israel worth the price six million had to pay? Did the experience in the death camps bring about an avowal of faith? A denial of God? A reaffirmation of religious belief? Did the Holocaust change beliefs about the coming of the Messiah, the Torah, the Jews as the chosen people, and the nature of God? These were only some of the questions for which Reeve Robert Brenner felt compelled to find answers, before the generation of survivors had passed away, and the impact and import of the Holocaust for those who had known the up-close meaning of atrocity had been lost. In oftentimes brilliant, stunning, and stirring prose, the frank and thought-provoking answers to these pointed and personal questions are offered.

Wil Arts (ed

"The question this book addresses is whether it is possible to get an almost face-to-face intimacy with various forms of cultural tradition and modernity by using our experiences and our powers of imagination, i.e. our expectations, in a more fruitful way." "The contributors to this book try to give answers to this weighty question by taking as a guideline Erasmus's famous motto, i.e. always go to the sources."--Jacket.

Eli Friedlander

"At the heart of Eli Friedlander's interpretation is the internal relation between the logical and the ethical in the Tractatus, a relation that emerges in the work of drawing the limits of language. To show how the Tractatus, far from separating the ethical and the logical into distinct domains, instead brings out their essential affinity, Friedlander focuses on Wittgenstein's use of the term "form," particularly his characterization of the form of objects. In this reading, the concept of form points to a threefold distinction in the text among the problematics of facts, objects, and the world. Most important, it provides a key to understanding how Wittgenstein's work opens a perspective on the world through the recognition of the form of objects rather than through the grasping of facts - thus revealing the dimensions of subjectivity involved in having a world, or in assuming that form of experience apart from systematic logic.". "Bearing on the question of the divide between analytic and Continental philosophy, this interpretation views Wittgenstein's work as a possible mediation between these two central philosophical traditions of the modern age. It will be of interest not only to Wittgenstein scholars but to anyone concerned with twentieth-century philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
