Review Quotes:
"Few philosophers are more in need of a dictionary than Levinas and even fewer are more deserving of one as rich as The Levinas Dictionary. Whether a new reader of Levinas or an established expert, one will need to find a place for this book on one's desk." --- Robert Bernasconi, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University, US
"The Levinas Dictionary invites an encounter with the originality and influences of Levinas' language, breaking through his complex and enigmatic thought by unveiling a vision in which otherness may be pronounced with discernment, simplicity, and clarity. The book succeeds by awakening the reader to Levinas' 'extravagant' philosophical discourse." --- Glenn Morrison, Associate Professor in Theology, The University of Notre Dame, Australia
