¿Think of the disaster¿ is the first injunction of thought when faced with the disaster that struck European Jews during the Shoah. Thinking of the disaster means understanding why the Shoah was able to occur in civilized Europe, moulded by humane reason and the values of progress and enlightenment. It means thinking of a possibility for philosophy¿s future.

Moved by indignation and the desire to testify, they felt the urgent need to address the cries of agony of Auschwitz¿s victims in their thinking.
