Since the publication of her first book, Emmanuel Levinas: The
Problem of Ethical Metaphysics, in 1974-the first book about
Levinas published in English-Edith Wyschogrod has been at the
forefront of the fields of Continental philosophy and philosophy of
religion. Her work has crossed many disciplinary boundaries, making
peregrinations from phenomenology and moral philosophy to
historiography, the history of religions (both Western and
non-Western), aesthetics, and the philosophy of biology. In all of
these discourses, she has sought to cultivate an awareness of how
the self is situated and influenced, as well as the ways in which a
self can influence others.In this volume, twelve scholars examine
and display the influence of Wyschogrod's work in essays that take
up the thematics of influence in a variety of contexts: Christian
theology, the saintly behavior of the villagers of Le Chambon sur
Lignon, the texts of the medieval Jewish mystic Abraham Abulafia,
the philosophies of Levinas, Derrida, and Benjamin, the practice of
intellectual history, the cultural memory of the New Testament, and
pedagogy.In response, Wyschogrod shows how her interlocutors have
brought to light her multiple authorial personae and have thus
marked the ambiguity of selfhood, its position at the nexus of
being influenced by and influencing others.
