Bücher von Christopher Garbowski

The examination of the transcendentals of truth, beauty and the good in this work stems from the perspective of Christian humanism, moral psychology and perfecting ourselves. From such a point of departure the book engages in the philosophy of culture and religion while drawing upon ritual, works of high and especially popular culture.

The author analyzes selected historical films of Steven Spielberg and Andrzej Wajda with respect to historical memory and its impact on national identity. The Holocaust, self-scrutiny in historical memory, and foundation myths are focused in relation to the sense of covenant in the films drawn from the respective national communities.
