Book Description
Emmanuel Levinas is one of the most influential philosophers of the Twentieth Century and is best known for his work on ethics and theology. Levinas & the Political analyzes themes such as the deconstruction of metaphysics as a reconfiguration of the political embodiment; the face of alterity, his engagement with Heidegger and Bataille, and his re-thinking of the political for an understanding of the significance of the Holocaust.
Review
"...leaves the standard readings of Levinas behind and takes a fresh look at the subject. Nobody interested in the topic can afford to ignore his challenge to current orthodoxy." -- Robert Bernasconi, University of Memphis
"Howard Caygill has written an important, original book that will transform the received understanding of Levinas. His interpretation and conclusion will be much debated, and deserve to be. Levinas and the Political is a 'must read' for anyone interested in Levinas or Continental ethical thought." -- Jay Bernstein, New School University
