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 Améry's critique of philosophy, which constitutes his own philosophical testament of being an inmate at Auschwitz. This book situates \u003ci\u003eAt the Mind's Limits\u003c\/i\u003e in the context of twentieth-century Continental philosophy. On the one hand, it elaborates Améry's 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivaldi Jean-Marie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030023443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030023447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Vivaldi Jean-Marie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46739067797759,"sku":"9783030023447","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16371b10-f6f7-4049-8429-2860de21388d.jpg?v=1743277108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reflections-on-jean-amzsry-vivaldi-jean-marie-9783030023447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
