Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This collection of recent Levinas scholarship is very welcome and worthwhile as it brings together in one volume some of the foremost thinkers on Levinas and environmental philosophy. It will be of interest to those working in environmental philosophy as well as to students and scholars of Levinas, and it significantly contributes to the nexus of Continental philosophy and environmental concerns."-- "Environmental Philosophy" (1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)

"Overall, a very strong collection. Facing Nature breaks some new ground in the existing literature on Levinas's perspective on the moral standing of nonhuman nature. It also opens up several new areas of scholarship on his relevance for environmental thought. The strength of the essays make it a "must read." . . for scholars interested in applying Levinas's seemingly anthropocentric ethical philosophy to areas of study in environmentalism and animal rights."-- "Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews" (9/1/2012 12:00:00 AM)

Reseña del editor:

"Applies Emmanuel Levinas's thought in approaching environmental philosophy from both humanistic and nonanthropocentric points of view, arguing that themes at the heart of his work--the significance of the ethical, responsibility, alterity, the vulnerability of the body, bearing witness, and politics--are important for thinking about many of our most pressing contemporary environmental questions" --Provided by publisher.
