The Promise of Phenomenology: Posthumous Papers of John Wild
includes articles that remained unpublished during Wild's lifetime,
a journal, wherein he recorded conversations with major British and
Continental philosophers during 1957-8, as well as a masterful
exposition and commentary on Emmanuel Levinas's book Totality and
Infinity. It also contains a complete bibliography of all of Wild's
unpublished writings open for research at the Beinecke Rare Book
Library at Yale University. More personal and less reserved than
Wild's published scholarship, yet containing Wild's characteristic
clarity and rigor, the writings in this book cover such subjects as
a phenomenological approach to moral relativism, an exploration of
lived time, and reflections on the other and religious
transcendence. The Promise of Phenomenology gives a lively picture
of a master philosopher at work conveying the vitality and
importance of philosophy to everyday life.
