Description

Lévinas: A Comparative Philosophy This book brings together leading Chinese and Western philosophers to explore the work of Emmanuel Lévinas, one of the 20th century's most complex and influential thinkers. The authors delve into Lévinas' ideas on phenomenology, ethics, metaphysics, and politics, comparing them with European philosophy and Chinese thought. The discussion covers a range of topics, including Lévinasian themes such as surpassing phenomenology, post-Heideggerian philosophy, the philosophy of saintliness, transcendence and immanence, time and sensibility, desire, death, political philosophy, the subject, and the space of communicativity. By examining Lévinas' ideas through a comparative lens, this book offers innovative insights into his philosophical project.
