Jean Améry: Identity, Time, Failure

Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review

Abstract

Jean Améry: Identity, Time, Failure offers the first comprehensive philosophical study of Jean Améry's oeuvre. By reading At the Mind's Limits together with On Aging, On Suicide, and his literary essays, the book uncovers three interwoven axes that shape his entire work: identity, time, and failure. It shows how autobiography, testimony, and philosophy converge in Améry's writing and brings him into dialogue with Sartre, Beauvoir, Nietzsche, and others, presenting him as a major twentieth-century thinker whose voice remains urgently relevant today.
