Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One (Un)Like the Other responds to the question, "What are the conditions of possibility that make genuine knowledge of other persons—and, therefore, love—possible?" By providing an original interpretive framework for exploring ethics in relation to empathy and transcendence from multiple perspectives in continental philosophy, empathy is described as a trace of what remains essentially and irreducibly "other" in every act of givenness. The use of the phenomenological method places "Einfühlung theory" in its rich historical context, beginning with Husserl and the early phenomenologists and extending to contemporary issues that explore "otherness" in light of consciousness, gender, embodiment, community, intentionality, emotions, intersubjectivity, values, language, and apophatic discourse. The implications of recasting "empathy" in an interpretive and dialogical model of reciprocity envision new paradigms of understanding ethics as an infinite playing field. No longer subservient to metaphysics and ontology, empathy is described as an act of infinite concern, a "hermeneutics of suspicion" that transcends epistemological theory and ethical command. Drawing on Husserl, Scheler, Stein, Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, and others, this study presents an examination and expansion of empathy as an encounter with otherness in its most radical and transcendent forms.

This book was released on 2018-06-17 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through humor, the Jewish people were able to preserve their dignity and feel that they were still human beings, despite all the Nazi attempts to destroy in them every vestige of humanity. Jewish humor is a way of processing pain and suffering. In that magical moment in which the flash of a joke appears, hunger disappears, the soup kitchens, forced labor, typhus, the dead on the sidewalks, the black market, meal cards, deportations to the East and the endless sufferings experienced for one reason only: to be a Jew. Humor could transform pessimism into optimism. Resignation into hope. Present into the future. Through humor the Jewish people have performed their supreme work of sabotage: survival. It has prevented their weaknesses from being stronger than their strengths. Humor is the secret weapon of the Jewish people. The Nazis have not understood it because the Nazis have not had a sense of humor. German is similar to Yiddish, but without a sense of humor. Humor before, during and after the Second World War has been a space of freedom in hell where it was possible to be optimistic and leave pessimism for better times. The people who do not laugh are dead before they die. The Jewish people have known how to laugh to survive. Every day there was only one thought: just one more day. In those dark days when the future was no longer what it had been and where everyone expected tomorrow to have a better future, humor was the key to enable survival. In this book you will find a series of phrases, jokes and monologues, which portray vividly and unforgettably those sinister days of the Holocaust where one people tried to exterminate another through industrial procedures. The jokes allow you, through a smile, to exercise your memory, avoid forgetfulness, and make sure that the story does not happen again. Neither to the Jewish people nor to any other. Purchase this book and experience the bittersweet mixture involved in laughing and suffering at the same time!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edith Stein and Roman Ingarden, both students of Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, corresponded extensively between 1917 and 1938. These 162 letters, most published here for the first time, reveal a friendship that spanned the adult lives of these two important 20th-century thinkers. Through Stein’s letters, the reader can follow her through her student days, her conversion from Judaism to Catholicism, her professional life, and her decision to become a Carmelite nun in the Carmel of Cologne, where she took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. The letters end in 1938, when the Nazi threat escalating throughout Eastern Europe made correspondence difficult, especially across national borders. Four years later Edith Stein was arrested in the Netherlands by the Nazi SS, transported to Auschwitz, and was killed in the gas chambers. Roman Ingarden survived World War II, continued his academic work in Poland, and died in 1970. Although Ingarden’s letters to her have not been found, Stein’s to him also help us understand the life of this Polish phenomenologist and aesthetician, his life in Poland, his intellectual development, his own writings and academic career, and the editorial assistance Stein provided for all of the works he published in German. Translated from the newest critical German edition by Dr. Hugh Candler Hunt, this premiere English edition of her correspondence—volume 12 of ICS Publications’ Collected Works of Edith Stein—gives us a fascinating and intimate window into Edith Stein’s rich life and personality, revealing her warmth and humor, deep capacity for friendship, and remarkable intellectual and spiritual depth. Book has 13 photos, bibliography and linked index.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading "As a child of the Jewish people who, by the grace of God, for the past eleven years has also been a child of the Catholic Church, I dare to speak to the Father of Christianity about that which oppresses millions of Germans. For weeks we have seen deeds perpetrated in Germany which mock any sense of justice and humanity, not to mention love of neighbor. For years the leaders of National Socialism have been preaching hatred of the Jews...But the responsibility must fall, after all, on those who brought them to this point and it also falls on those who keep silent in the face of such happenings." - Edith Stein To say Edith Stein lived a remarkable life would be a dramatic understatement. Born in Breslau (then part of Germany) at the end of the 19th century, Edith was raised as an observant Jew, only to turn her back on religion right around the time World War I devastated the continent. In the wake of the war, during which she earned a doctorate and began working as an assistant at the University of Freiburg, she began reading the works of the legendary St. Teresa of �vila, one of the most influential Catholic saints in history. As Stein continued to be influenced by St. Teresa, she was baptized as a Catholic in 1922 and began to turn her attention to becoming a nun. When she ultimately decided that would not be her path, she began to teach at a Catholic school in Speyer, a position she held until 1931. As it turned out, that period of time coincided with the rise of the Nazis, with Adolf Hitler working his way up the ranks of the Weimar Republic before taking full power in 1933. As the Nazis seized the reins in Germany and began implementing antisemitic policies, Stein's Jewish background made her a target regardless of her conversion, and she had to quit teaching as a result of not being "Aryan" enough to qualify for a civil servant position. In the wake of that, she pursued her original dream by joining a Discalced Carmelite monastery in Cologne by the end of 1933, and she took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross Edith and her sister Rosa would remain at Cologne until 1938, when their Jewish background compelled them to flee to a monastery in the Netherlands as antisemitic persecution intensified in Germany. They were two of countless Jews who fled Nazi Germany or attempted to ahead of World War II, but as fate would have it, they didn't get far enough away. In the midst of World War II, the Germans occupied the Netherlands along with most of the rest of Western Europe, and in 1942 Stein and her sister would be sent to Auschwitz, where they became victims of the Final Solution. In the wake of her death, Stein was lionized as a martyr, and eventually she was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1998. Meanwhile, her works were gradually published in the decades after the war, and her philosophical teachings became influential in their own right. Edith Stein: The Life and Legacy of the Jewish Philosopher Who Became a Catholic Saint examines Edith's conversion, her work as a nun, her philosophy, and her fate. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Edith Stein like never before.

Download or read book My Favorite Nazi written by Lazaro Droznes and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Nazi hierarch who saved his life at the Nuremberg trial. Albert Speer, one of the leading Nazi hierarchs, was Hitler's architect and Minister of Armaments. He was responsible for the deportation and death of millions of slave workers who were forced to work in degrading conditions in the war industries. An estimated 14 million workers were used against their will to increase 4 times the production of armaments during the administration of Albert Speer. Thanks to this huge increase in production, Germany was able to sustain the conflict for two additional years. This extension of the conflict resulted in several million victims that could have been avoided. Despite his direct responsibility for the death of millions of slave workers and prisoners of war, Albert Speer miraculously avoided the hanging sentence that his Nazi colleagues on trial in Nuremberg did receive. Albert Speer was the only Nazi who showed any kind of repentance and accepted shared responsibility for the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. Speer was sentenced to "only" 20 years in prison in Spandau prison, a sentence that he served in its entirety until the last day. After prison, he published a memoir that became a world best seller, had a great media impact, and made him a wealthy man. Because of his repentance and acceptance of responsibilities, he is frequently and ironically mentioned as "the good Nazi."
