Description: Jeffrey Bloechl traces the evolution of Levinas's thought to argue that his conception of God is dependent on his existential phenomenology.
Review Quotes:
"This volume goes to the heart of Levinas's profoundly original and thus challenging ethics, clarifying and highlighting its essentials without conflation, simplification, or superficial criticism, and accenting the all-important social transcendence or 'prophecy' of goodness that makes for the humanity of the human." --Richard A. Cohen, author of Levinasian Meditations: Ethics, Philosophy, and Religion
