Suggested merge of Do not give Hitler posthumous victories into Emil Fackenheim[edit]

Appose. The point that this article is documenting is independant of the person who first coined the phrase. —gorgan_almighty 11:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject class rating[edit]

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 21:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Schopenhauer[edit]

I can understand Fackenheim's antagonism toward Schopenhauer. Fackenheim experienced and saw the devastating effects of antisemitism. Schopenhauer made antisemitic remarks in his philosophy. However, that does not justify the conclusion that Schopenhauer's philosophy was superficial.Lestrade (talk) 14:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

614th Commandment[edit]

This commandment should be adopted also by Christians, Mulsims, and everybody else. Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunate Misplaced Discussion[edit]

Under the heading "Conclusion" in the article someone has unfortunately put two paragraphs -- they begin with the words "The preceding discussion"-- which should, rightly, be on this discussion page. The paragraphs correctly criticize the article as neglecting the rest of Fackenheim's thought. (The article is currently almost entirely about the so-called "6i4th Commandment.") These two paragraphs should be deleted, and perhaps rewritten after a debate here. More should also be added to the article about the rest of Fackenheim's thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grantsky (talk • contribs) 11:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Son's conversion is rejected - Irony![edit]

Emil Fackenheim's son's conversion was just rejected [[1]]. Stevenschulman (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense[edit]

"Fackenheim researched the relationship of the Jews with God, believing that the Holocaust must be understood as an imperative requiring Jews to carry on Jewish existence and the survival of the State of Israel. He emigrated to Israel in 1984." That state of Israel wasn't established until after the Holocaust, does this mean something other than what I think it means, or is it inaccurate? --30daysinAK (talk) 01:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Essay[edit]

This article reads more as a personal essay with original research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ICanCountTo20 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fackenheim was not a Holocaust survivor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.55.150.186 (talk) 23:48, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
