Document Details : Title: Amery's Devastation and Resentment Subtitle: An Ethnographic Transcendental Deduction Author(s): BERNSTEIN, J.M. Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 76 Issue: 1 Date: 2014 Pages: 5-30 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.76.1.3017238 Abstract : What is the relation between philosophical categories and everyday experience? Can an effectively first-person account of an historical experience rise to the level of a philosophical argument? This essay argues that Jean Améry’s account of his sufferings under the Nazis intends to generate a justificatory argument, a transcendental deduction of sorts, for the category of ‘resentment’ against its philosophical critics, most importantly, Nietzsche. |
