Emmanuel Levinas is considered a key philosopher in the
post-Heideggerian field and a presence in contemporary debates
about identity and responsibility. His works spans the major
philosophical and ethical concers of the 20th century, combining
the insights of a basic phenomenological training with the demands
of a Jewish culture and its basis in the exegesis of Talmudic
reading. His concerns and subjects include: the Other body,
infinity, women, Jewish-Christian relations, Zionism and the
impulses and limits of philosophical language itself. This
collection explicates Levinas's contribution to these debates,
namely the idea of the primacy of ethics over ontology or
epistemology. It investigates how, in the wake of the
post-structuralist orthodoxy, scholars and practitioners in such
fields as literary theory, cultural studies, feminism and
psychoanalysis are turning to Levinas's work to articulate a
rediscovered concern with the ethical dimension of their
discipline. It also stresses the Jewish dimension of Levinas's
work.
