First, I discuss the arising questions regarding a good life, thus, I analyse the various aspects of existential failure and success. Then I write about moral philosophical dilemmas, and the relation between existential and moral failure and existential and moral success in the works of Kert\u00e9sz. Finally, I try to grasp how Kert\u00e9sz perceives civilizational failure and answer the question to what extent can \u201cthe holocaust as culture\u201d provide a basis for the
\nrevival of civilization and moral, or whether there\u2019s a possibility for civilization\u2019s revival at all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
