Emmanual Levinas (1906-1995) is acknowledged as one of the great Jewish thinkers of the 20th century, yet during his lifetime he refused the label "Jewish philosopher", insisting that he was a philosopher "tout court". This book explores the relationship between Levinas' ethical philosophy and his understanding of Judaism. The first chapter focuses on the "face-to-face" or "ethical relation" as it is presented in "Totality and Infinity". Subsequent chapters are concerned with showing how this quasi-phenomenological account of the ethical relation provides the orientation of his major texts, the significance of key terms in Levinas' discourse - particularly "humanism", "God" and "Judaism" - is clarified. Finally, the author examines the writings that constitute Levinas' most distinctive contribution to Jewish thought - his talmudic commentaries.
