JS 312 - Ethics after Auschwitz (3 Cr.) (cross listed as PHL 312 and GER 312)
This course will center around what it means to ‘go on,’, to live, and to exist as an ethical agent in a world ‘after Auschwitz,’ i.e., after a century of genocides and mass death. Throughout the course, we will focus on the ways in which 20th century philosophers, theologians, poets, and other writers assessed, responded to, and ultimately understood human existence after a century of mass murder, what they thought it revealed about humanity and society, and especially what it suggests or proposes about our future, together, as humans. Prerequisite: one course in Judaic studies, philosophy, or religious studies, or permission of the instructor. Spring semester, every two years. Shuster.
