Description:
This volume examines the relevance of Emmanuel Levinas's work to recent developments in analytic philosophy. It shows how 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.
Review Quotes:
"An innovative collection of essays written by an impressive group of scholars that demonstrates the important contribution that Levinas's thought can make to discussions more commonly associated with the analytic philosophical tradition." - Leslie MacAvoy, East Tennessee State University, USA
"With the increasing need to build bridges among the different philosophical traditions and with the growing interest in Levinas's work, this book will appeal to a significant number of scholars working in Levinas studies, moral philosophy, and philosophy of mind. Erdur and Fagenblat have assembled a first rate group of scholars whose essays will encourage discussions across intra-disciplinary boundaries." - Claire Katz, Texas A&M University, USA
