Abstract

AbstractIn his literary works as well as his published journals and papers, Imre Kertész develops a philosophy of existence inspired by the experience of Auschwitz and of the communist regime in Hungary. Questioning human existence under the hold of the forms of totalitarianism developed in the twentieth century, which make man a simple function of the system or supernumerary being, Kertész’s works develop a radical philosophy of existence (or non-existence) in quest of subjectivity, interiority and ethics. Reader of Kierkegaard, Kertész also revives some of the fundamental themes of Kierkegaardian philosophy of existence underestimated by existentialist philosophers.
