After Jews

Autor Piotr Nowak
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2022
The basic idea of this book is an attempt to describe and critically interpret the condition of man living in the shadow of the Shoah, in the world "after Jews". The author achieves this by referring to the language of political theology, renewing the meaning of such theological concepts as eternity, salvation, the idea of the chosen people, apocalypse, radical hope, and others. He seeks an answer to the question of the conditions for the possibility of the Shoah, all this in order to better understand today's growing aggression against people of strong faith, strong traditional beliefs. Is the disturbing thought of the recurrence of the Shoah, the repetition of the worst scenario that has already happened once in the modern world, an overstated thought, an exaggerated suspicion, a neurosis? The author asks several twentieth-century writers and philosophers such as Ren Girard, D.H. Lawrence, Jacob Taubes, Joseph Roth, Primo Levi, Jean Amry, W.G. Sebald, K.K. Baczyński, Czeslaw Milosz, Krzysztof Michalski, Jonathan Lear, Hannah Arendt, Vasily Rozanov, Giorgio Agamben, and Martin Heidegger to answer these disturbing questions. The exceptions are William Shakespeare and St. Paul, who, however, can also be considered contemporary because of their timeless presence.
