Description
Robert Bernasconi and Simon Critchley offer a fresh perspective on the work of Emmanuel Levinas in this collection of essays. By examining how issues such as reading, deconstruction, feminism, and psychotherapy complicate Levinas's account of responsibility, these authors provide new insights into the philosopher's thought.
The book builds on the longstanding debate between Levinas and Jacques Derrida, with two key texts by each philosopher featured in English for the first time. This re-reading of Levinas's work is a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions of his philosophy.
