This volume examines the relevance of Emmanuel Levinas's work to
recent developments in analytic philosophy. Contemporary analytic
philosophers working in metaethics, the philosophy of mind, and the
metaphysic of personal identity have argued for views similar to
those espoused by Levinas. Often disparately pursued, Levinas's
account of "ethics as first philosophy" affords a way of connecting
these respective enterprises and showing how moral normativity
enters into the structure of rationality and personal identity. In
metaethics, the volume shows how Levinas's moral phenomenology
relates to recent work on the normativity of rationality and
intentionality, and how it can illuminate a wide range of moral
concepts including accountability, moral intuition, respect,
conscience, attention, blame, indignity, shame, hatred, dependence,
gratitude and guilt. The volume also tests Levinas's innovative
claim that ethical relations provide a way of accounting for the
irreducibility of personal identity to psychological identity. The
essays here contribute to ongoing discussions about the
metaphysical significance and sustainability of a naturalistic but
nonreductive account of personhood. Finally, the volume connects
Levinas's second-person standpoint with analogous developments in
moral philosophy.
