Summary
In chapter IV, on the future of humanity, I address questions prompted by the humanity of Jesus as part of post-Shoah discourse, such as Emil Fackenheim’s question whether Jesus could have been a “Muselman”, the notion of natality in conversation with Hannah Arendt and Julia Kristeva and the memory of Jesus’ circumcision.
