Synopsis
Two of the most creative and compelling thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century, Maurice Blanchot and Emmanuel Levinas first encountered each other in the 1920s and began a friendship that was to span over seven decades. Their subsequent exchanges of ideas and shared concerns, as well as their significant differences and influence on one another, have profound implications for the work of each. Encountering the Other represents the most sustained analysis to date of the intersections of structure and content in Blanchot and Levinas's most representative and complex works.

Two of the most creative and compelling thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century, Maurice Blanchot and Emmanuel Levinas first encountered each other in the 1920s and began a friendship that was to span over seven decades. Their subsequent exchanges of ideas and shared concerns, as well as their significant differences and influence on one another, have profound implications for the work of each. Encountering the Other represents the most sustained analysis to date of the intersections of structure and content in Blanchot and Levinas's most representative and complex works. As Alain P. Toumayan underscores, Levinas introduced Blanchot to German philosophy, particularly phenomenology, while Blanchot introduced Levins to French literary texts and their distinctly modern reflections on the work of art. Toumayan's close reading of key texts by both authors reveals the influence of these ideas throughout. Deep proximities and differences emerge: Levinas's ethical model, his analyses of the relation of self to Other originally borrow from the aesthetic relation, but he later abandons this model. Blanchot, increasingly demonstrating his interest in the same ethical problems that engage Levinas, rejects any formulation that appeals to the divine. Encountering the Other focuses on concepts that emerge as central for both thinkers- problems of the artwork, the Other, death and Levinas's il y a that are related by a careful examination to the theme of difference. Toumayan's analysis highlights the originality and intricacy of their works and the rich possibilities of the encounter they enact of art, literary criticism and philosophy. Seller Inventory # 201227
