Few philosophers have devoted more than passing attention to
similarities between the thought of Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish
Christian, and Emmanuel Levinas, a French Jew. Here, one of
philosophy of religion's most distinctive voices offers a sustained
comparison. Focusing on questions surrounding otherness,
transcendence, postmodernity, and the nature of religious thought,
Merold Westphal draws readers into a dialogue between the two
thinkers. Westphal's masterful command of both philosophies shows
that each can learn from the other. Levinas and Kierkegaard in
Dialogue is an insightful and accessible contribution to
philosophical considerations of ethics and religion."
