This book brings together an important collection of essays by Emmanuel Levinas,
a leading philosopher of the 20th century, dating from between 1969 and 1980. T
he book considers specific Jewish problems: exegetic methodology, points of Jewi
sh doctrine, Jewish religious philosophy, and contemporary political and cultura
l issues. It also includes five Talmudic readings. The book will be of interest
to readers throughout the wider philosophical and religious communities. These b
ooks are seminal works of the finest minds in Western thought, including Adorno,
Badiou, Derrida, Heidegger and Larkin. They are works of such power that they c
hanged the cultural mind when they were written and continue to resonate today -
landmark texts in the fields of philosophy, literature, popular culture, politi
cs and theology - strikingly designed, accessibly priced.
