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 and the Political explores his early writings in the face of National Socialism to his controversial political statements on Israeli and French politics. It also analyzes themes such as the deconstruction of metaphysics as a reconfiguration of the political embodiment. Caygill explores Levinas' engagement with his contemporaries Heidegger and Bataille, and his re-thinking of the political for an understanding of the significance of the Holocaust.
