Our era is profoundly marked by the phenomenon of exile and it is
has become increasingly urgent to rethink the concept of exile and
our stance towards it. This renewed reflection on the problem of
exile brings to the fore a number of questions regarding the
traditionally negative connotation of exile. Is there not another
way to understand the condition of exile? Permeated with references
to the 'stranger', the 'other' and 'exteriority', the philosophy of
Emmanuel Levinas signifies a positive understanding of exile. This
original and compelling book distills from Levinas's philosophy a
wisdom of exile, for the first time shedding a positive light on
the condition of exile itself. Abi Doukhan argues that Levinas's
philosophy can be understood as a comprehensive philosophy of
exile, from his ethics to his thoughts on society, love, knowledge,
spirituality and art, thereby presenting a comprehensive view of
the philosophy of Levinas himself as well as a renewed
understanding of the wealth and contribution of exile to a given
society.
