This book explores the relation between Heidegger, Levinas and
Derrida by means of a dialogue with experts on the work of these
mutually influential thinkers. Each essay in this collection
focuses on the relation between at least two of these three
philosophers focusing on various themes, such as Alterity, Justice,
Truth and Language. By contextualising these thinkers and tracing
their mutually shared themes, the book establishes the question of
difference and its ongoing radicalization as the problem to which
phenomenology must respond. Heidegger's influence on Derrida and
Levinas was quite substantial. Derrida once claimed that his work
'would not have been possible without the opening of Heidegger's
questions.' Equally, as peers, Derrida and Levinas commented on and
critiqued each other's work. By examining the differences between
these thinkers on a variety of themes, this book represents a
philosophically enriching project and essential reading for
understanding the respective projects of each of these
philosophers.

This book presents the relation between the subject and the other
in the work of Jacques Derrida as one of 'surviving translating'.
It demonstrates the key role of translation in thinking difference
rather than identity, beginning with the work of Martin Heidegger
and Emmanuel Levinas. It describes how translation, and its ethical
demands, acts as a leitmotif throughout Derrida's writing; from his
early work on Edmund Husserl to his last texts on politics and
hospitality. While for both Heidegger and Levinas translation is
always possible, Derrida's account is marked by the challenge of
impossibility. Expanding translation beyond a merely linguistic
operation, Foran explores Derrida's accounts of mourning, death and
'survival' to offer a new perspective on the ethics of
subjectivity.
