Radnóti, Blanchot, and the (Un)writing of Disaster

In her article Radnóti, Blanchot, and the (Un)writing of Disaster Jennifer Anna Gosetti- Ferencei applies Maurice Blanchot\u27s notion of disaster to the Holocaust poetry of Miklós Radnóti (1909-1944). Radnóti\u27s work contemplates a catastrophic present and brings authorial experience and the writing self to the fore. Blanchot\u27s thought may help us to understand Radnóti\u27s poetry, yet paradoxically so, since the poems repel Blanchot\u27s central formulations about the passivity and sacrifice of the author and, in his reflections on Kafka, about the uncertainty of death. Gosetti-Ferencei\u27s study shows that despite divergences Blanchot\u27s treatment of writing and authorship illuminates these themes in Radnóti\u27s poems and that the latter also sheds new critical light on Blanchot\u27s elusive understanding of disaster

Phenomenology of Religious Life

The Phenomenology of Religious Life presents the text of Heidegger’s important 1920–21 lectures on religion. The volume consists of the famous lecture course Introduction to the Phenomenology of Religion, a course on Augustine and Neoplatonism, and notes for a course on The Philosophical Foundations of Medieval Mysticism that was never delivered. Heidegger’s engagements with Aristotle, St. Paul, Augustine, and Luther give readers a sense of what phenomenology would come to mean in the mature expression of his thought. Heidegger reveals an impressive display of theological knowledge, protecting Christian life experience from Greek philosophy and defending Paul against Nietzsche.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/fac_monographs/1233/thumbnail.jp
