The reputation and influence of Emmanuel Levinas (1906-96) has
grown powerfully. Well known in France in his lifetime, he has
since his death become widely regarded as a major European moral
philosopher profoundly shaped by his Jewish background. A pupil of
Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas pioneered new forms of exegesis with
his post-modern readings of the Talmud, and as an ethicist brought
together religious and non-religious, Jewish and non-Jewish
traditions of contemporary thought. Richard A. Cohen has written a
book which uses Levinas' work as its base but goes on to explore
broader questions of interpretation in the context of text-based
ethical thinking. Levinas' reorientation of philosophy is
considered in critical contrast to alternative contemporary
approaches such as those found in modern science, psychology,
Nietzsche, Freud, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty,
Derrida and Ricoeur. Cohen explores a manner of philosophizing
which he terms 'ethical exegesis'.
