Moments of Disruption - Levinas, Sartre, and the Question of Transcendence (Paperback)

In "Moments of Disruption," Kris Sealey considers Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Paul Sartre together to fully realize the ethical "and" political implications of their similar descriptions of human existence. Focusing on points of contact and difference between their writings on transcendence, identity, existence, and alterity, Sealey presents not only an understanding of Sartrean politics in which Levinas s somewhat apolitical program might be taken into the political, but also an explicitly political reading of Levinas that resonates well with Sartre s work. In bringing together both thinkers accounts of disrupted existence in this way, a theoretical place is found from which to question the claim that politics and ethics are mutually exclusive."
