The book grapples with one of the most difficult questions
confronting the contemporary world: the problem of the other, which
includes ethical, political, and metaphysical aspects. A widespread
approach in the history of the discourse on the other,
systematically formulated by Emmanuel Levinas and his followers,
has invested this term with an almost mythical quality-the other is
everybody else but never a specific person, an abstraction of
historical human existence. This book offers an alternative view,
turning the other into a real being, through a carefully described
process involving two dimensions referred to as the ethic of
loyalty to the visible and the ethic of inner retreat. Tracing the
course of this process in life and in literature, the book presents
a broad and lucid picture intriguing to philosophers and also
accessible to readers concerned with questions touching on the
meaning of life, ethics, and politics, and particularly relevant to
the burning issues surrounding attitudes to immigrants as others
and to the relationship with God, the ultimate other.
