Emmanuel Levinas

0/5 ( ratings)

This volume consists of fourteen pieces selected by Levinas himself in 1987 from a large body of uncollected essays. They are unified by Levinas's project of revising the phenomenological description of the world in light of our experience of other persons. Husserlian phenomenology claims that the world must always be construed as an object of consciousness, a meaning for an "I." By contrast, Levinas asks, "Isn't there a type of experience in which something is given to me, indeed thrusts itself upon me, that can never be translated as a meaning for me?" Levinas points to the experience of the other human being, which is precisely an experience of something that manifests itself to me as not mine, as more than the thematic content of my own intentional consciousness.
