TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: The Bombing of Dresden
The bombing of Dresden on February 13, 14, and 14 of 1945 was the most devastating air raid in Europe, and among the worst of the Second World War. In this episode I discuss the application of scientific and technological reason to the technologies of mass destruction, yielding what Karl Jaspers called the New Fact of history, and what Edith Wyschogrod called man made mass death. In my discussion I touch on questions such as: What are the limits of historical parallels? Can we define the appearance of absolute novelty in history?
