Revelation in Concealement
Post-Holocaust anti-theology transforms medical practice by recognizing the therapeutic encounter as itself a form of spiritual practice that operates through embodied presence rather than intellectual understanding. Medical practitioners must learn to remain present to suffering that exceeds explanation while maintaining commitment to healing that does not depend on understanding ultimate causes. The physician-patient relationship becomes a space of "dialectical presence" where healer and patient encounter mystery together, abandoning the illusion of medical omniscience in favor of shared vulnerability. This approach recognizes that authentic healing often requires accepting the limits of medical intervention while maintaining full engagement with suffering—a medical practice that can hold both scientific rigor and spiritual humility without requiring their intellectual reconciliation.
