Emmanuel Levinas is best known for having reintroduced the question
of ethics into the Continental philosophical tradition. In The
Metaphysics of Love, however, Stella Sandford argues that an
over-emphasis on ethics in the reception of Levinas's thought has
concealed the basis and the details of his philosophical project.
The Metaphysics of Love traces Levinas's philosophy through a
detailed discussion of the neglected Levinasian themes of eros,
sexual difference, the "feminine" maternity, fecundity, paternity
and fraternity, demonstrating the ultimate impossibility of his
metaphysical enterprise. Arguing against this attempt to deploy
phenomenology in the service of a metaphysics of transcendence,
Sandford's book is, at the same time, a powerful feminist critique
of both Levinas's gendered philosophical categories and the attempt
to reclaim aspects of his philosophy for feminist theory.
