Description

This new volume in the Impacts series brings together an important collection of essays by Emmanuel Levinas, a leading philosopher of the 20th century, dating from between 1969 and 1980. The essays consider specific Jewish problems: exegetic methodology, points of Jewish doctrine, Jewish religious philosophy, and contemporary political and cultural issues. It also includes five Talmudic readings. Beyond the Verse will be of interest to readers throughout the wider philosophical and religious communities.
