| ENGL 435AO - Holocaust Lit. & Ethics |
|
This course uses Kant's ethical and aesthetic theory as a helpful way of understanding how inmates experienced a perversion of normality in Auschwitz-Birkenau. If Kant saw beauty as a means of creating community and the categorical imperative as a unifying mode of ethical action, writers such as Charlotte Delbo and Primo Levi describe experiences that cannot be contained by Kant's thinking.
