Abstract
Thought necessarily reflects the times. Following the tragedy of the Holocaust, this fact is becoming ever clearer, and it may be the reason post-war philosophical texts are so difficult to understand, since they confront incoherensibly traumatic experiences.
To exist in the second half of the 20th century and beyond, philosophy has had to rewrite its tradition and its discourse, radically transforming itself. Should it be capable of bearing witness to this time, the metamorphosis in philosophy is necessary.
Philosophy en noir is a record of this transformation.
