1. Memory, the Jewish Intellectual, and Cartesian Cogito -- 2. Torture and Homelessness: The Horrible Can Make No Claim to Singularity -- 3. Améry and Nietzsche on Resentment, Collective Guilt, and Historical Revisionism -- 4. Améry and Sartre: The Necessity and Impossibility of Being an Authentic Jew -- 5. Conclusion. .

This book elaborates Jean Améry’s critique of philosophy and his discussion of some central philosophical themes in At the Mind’s Limits and his other writings. 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 At the Mind’s Limits 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. .
