Post-Auschwitz metaphysics was forced to confront material bodily existence
Evidence
The point of no return has been reached in the process which irresistibly forced metaphysics to join what it was once conceived against. Not since the youthful Hegel has philosophyunless selling out for authorized cerebrationbeen able to repress how very much it slipped into material questions of existence. Children sense some of this in the fascination that issues from the flayer’s zone, from carcasses, from the repulsively sweet odour of putrefaction, and from the opprobrious terms used for that zone. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2572
