5.0 out of 5 stars
An outstanding entry into Levinas' later work,
This review is from: God, Death, and Time (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) (Paperback)
I don't intend a long review here, but I thought it worth commenting, in lack of any other reviews. I have found this text to be the most clear exposition of Levinasian philosophy available. It consists of 2 lecture courses and thus the chapters are very well broken down, short and oriented topically per lecture period. The material is very much in the vein of Levinas' work in Otherwise than Being, and to my mind it provides an exceptional entry way into that work's more obscure corners. The ideas are very clearly laid out here (difficult still, but very clear) and the translation reads exceptionally well.
If you have been looking for a single text that best expresses the heart of Levinasian thought (particularly in the later period, of course, which I take to be his most interesting period), I would suggest this book above all others. I've read a great deal of them, so this is my impression from studying Levinas. |
