Description
Levinas's work bridges several major gaps in the evolution of Continental philosophy - between modern and postmodern, phenomenology and poststructuralism, ethics and ontology. He is credited with having spurred a revitalized interest in ethics-based philosophy throughout Europe and America.
Entre Nous is a major collection of essays representing the culmination of Levinas's philosophy. The book gathers his most important work and reveals the development of his thought over nearly forty years of committed inquiry. These essays engage with issues of suffering, love, religion, culture, justice, human rights, and legal theory. Taken together they constitute a key to Levinas's ideas on the ethical dimensions of otherness.
Translated by Michael B. Smith and Barbara Harshaw

'Emmanuel Levinas's thought has had a profound influence on twentieth-century European philosophy. This collection of essays on religion, politics, and the primary of ethics presents a superb introduction to his work. It allows us to see the scope and significance of one of the defining thinkers of our time.' Arnold I. Davidson, Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Chicago
