| Sumario: | This volume examines the interplay between religious experience, secular reason, and politics around the pivotal year of 1945. It delves into philosophical discourses of the time, highlighting the impact of totalitarian regimes and the rise of human rights following the establishment of the United Nations. The book explores the tensions and interactions between religious and secular philosophical positions, both within and outside of Europe. Through contributions from various scholars, it discusses themes such as Adorno’s post-Holocaust reflections, Simone Weil’s political and religious thought, and the influence of fascism and nationalism. The work aims to provide insights into the relevance of these historical discourses for contemporary society, particularly in the context of ongoing challenges to democracy and human rights. |
