Full Description
This book features essays by Michael L. Morgan that explore the profound significance of Emmanuel Levinas's thought across religious, historical, and political dimensions.
Morgan examines how Levinas's fundamental "ethical insight" about interpersonal relations extends into our everyday lives and broader social contexts. Through critical textual analysis of Levinas's writings, comparative studies with other key thinkers, applied interpretations of film and cultural practices, and explorations of political implications, Morgan bridges Continental philosophy with Anglo-American traditions while demonstrating Levinas's response to twentieth-century atrocities and philosophical trends. The essays, several of which appear in print for the first time, provide fresh perspectives on religious thought, historiography, and political theory and showcase the enduring relevance of Levinasian ethics in contemporary discourse.
Levinasian Reflections will appeal to researchers and graduate students working in the history of philosophy, religious studies, comparative literature, Jewish studies, and political theory.
