Summary:

In this volume, Ilit Ferber offers a comprehensive philosophical study of Jean Amery's oeuvre. A Holocaust survivor and lifelong exile, Amery is best known for 'At the Mind's Limits' (1966), his searing reflection on Auschwitz. Yet the prominence of this work has often obscured the breadth of his thought. Read together with 'On Aging' (1968) and 'On Suicide' (1976), as well as his essays on literature and culture, a fuller picture emerges: Amery's writings form a sustained meditation on identity, time, and failure
