Emanuel Levinas and the Limits to Ethics highlights how radically
different Jewish ethics is from Christian ethics, and the profound
affinities that subsist between Jewish ethics and philosophical and
political liberalism. The philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas has
captured the imagination of a global constituency who take his
absolutizing of ethical demands and his assigning primacy to ethics
over all other branches of inquiry in his mapping of Western
philosophy to be indicative of a major re-ordering of both personal
and cultural identity. It is this re-ordering, they believe, that
would restore greater wholeness and value to human life. In this
book, Aryeh Botwinick takes issue with both the theoretical
analysis that Levinas engages in, and the practical ethical import
that he draws from it. Arguing that what Levinas has to say about
both skepticism and negative theology can be used to re-route his
argument away from the avowed aims of his thought, this book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of Jewish Studies,
Ethics and Philosophy.
