Publisher Description This book elaborates Jean Amérys critique of philosophy and his discussion of some central philosophical themes in At the Minds Limits and his other writings. It shows how Améry 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 Amérys critique of philosophy, which constitutes his own philosophical testament of being an inmate at Auschwitz. This book situates At the Minds Limits in the context of twentieth-century Continental philosophy. On the one hand, it elaborates Amérys engagement with key philosophical figures. On the other hand, it shows how thoroughly Améry denounces the limits of the philosophical enterprise, and its impotence in capturing and accounting for the crimes of the Third Reich.
