The aim of this article is to develop a critical and theoretical enquiry into the possibility of philosophy after Auschwitz. Starting from the relationship between the screams of the victims and the necessity of writing, the paper addresses the problem of the unspeakable and claims for the creation of a collective memory. Following Adorno, the author argues in favor of a “philosophy of the testimony” that must then be conceived as extreme and perennial lucidity, always implying an act of resistance and non-resignation in face of the inexorable course of the events. A form of resistance sometimes silent and sometimes glaring and dazzling, but all the same a resistance which operates - and must operate - from the inside: from the inside of philosophy and its means, the concepts, from the inside of metaphysics and eventually from the inside of the writing itself.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to develop a critical and theoretical enquiry into the possibility of philosophy after Auschwitz. Starting from the relationship between the screams of the victims and the necessity of writing, the paper addresses the problem of the unspeakable and claims for the creation of a collective memory. Following Adorno, the author argues in favor of a “philosophy of the testimony” that must then be conceived as extreme and perennial lucidity, always implying an act of resistance and non-resignation in face of the inexorable course of the events. A form of resistance sometimes silent and sometimes glaring and dazzling, but all the same a resistance which operates - and must operate - from the inside: from the inside of philosophy and its means, the concepts, from the inside of metaphysics and eventually from the inside of the writing itself.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
