2: A Season in Hell
In the second of his 1970 T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures delivered earlier this month at the University of Kent, Dr Steiner moves on from his examination of 19th-century high civilisation to consider the holocaust and other aspects of the period 1914-1945 in the light of a theory of culture. And he asks whether such a theory can cope. Are there elements lacking in the sociological, economic, psychological, political readings we give to the crisis? In particular is there a religious dimension worth considering in our account of the failure of Western civility?
