Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Not only has [Severson] written a learned and readable work of scholarship, he has produced a key to interpreting Levinas's entire body of work, from his earliest to his last. This key -- Levinas's understanding of time -- unlocks Levinas's famously 'radical claim that ethics is first philosophy.' Severson's book is at its best when it's exploring the connection between time and some other theme, whether Hitlerism, capitalism, hope, or language."-- "Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews" (8/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)

"While focused on an explication of Levinas's complex and shifting idea of time, Severson's rich discussion connects the thematic of time to many other notions of Levinas's, including escape, hypostasis, presence, dwelling, transcendence, proximity, and infinity. . . . An original contribution to both Levinas studies and to understanding the idea of time in the continental tradition. While any serious Levinas scholar will want to read this book, continental philosophers with an interest in time will wish to engage it as well."-- "Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy" (4/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)

Reseña del editor:

"A chronological approach that examines the progression of Levinas's deliberations on time over six decades, thus providing new insights about aspects of Levinasian thought that have consistently troubled readers, including the differences between Levinas's early and later writings, his controversial invocation of the feminine, and the blurry line between philosophy and religion in his work"--Provided by publisher.
