First published in 1935, "On Escape" represents Emmanuel Levinas's
first attempt to break with the ontological obsession of the
Western tradition. In it, Levinas not only affirms the necessity of
an escape from being, but also gives a meaning and a direction to
it. Beginning with an analysis of need not as lack or some external
limit to a self-sufficient being, but as a positive relation to our
being, Levinas moves through a series of brilliant phenomenological
analyses of such phenomena as pleasure, shame, and nausea in order
to show a fundamental insufficiency in the human condition.
In his critical introduction and annotation, Jacques Rolland places
"On Escape" in its historical and intellectual context, and also
within the context of Levinas's entire oeuvre, explaining Levinas's
complicated relation to Heidegger, and underscoring the way
Levinas's analysis of "being riveted," of the need for escape, is a
meditation on the body.
