paperback. Condition: Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, fine condition. LÉVINAS, EMMANUEL. Is it righteous to be?: interviews with Emmanuel Lévinas. Edited by Jill Robbins. Stanford, Calif: Stanford University Press, 2001, 2022 printing of the 2007 printing, ix, 307pp., . Series: Meridian "Recent debates within Continental philosophy have decisively renewed the question of the ethical, with the French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas (1905-1995) as its center. Coming from yet in contestation with the phenomenological traditions of Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas defines ethics as an originary response to the face of the other. For him, language is an exception to a habitual economy that represses alterity and maintains the asymmetry and distance constitutive of the nontotalizing relation to the other. Ethics occurs in the interlocutionary relation to the other, and interpellation--a kind of interruption by speaking--is the essential feature of ethical language., Between 1982 and 1992, Levinas gave numerous interviews, closing a distinguished sixty-year career. Of the twenty interviews collected in this volume, seventeen appear in English for the first time. In the interviews Levinas sets forth the central features of his ethical philosophy, previously enunciated in Totality and Infinity (1961), in a language that bridges to the idiom of his later work. He underlines his dedication to the phenomenological search for the concrete and the nonformal signification of alterity. He also elaborates issues that do not receive extensive treatment in his formal philosophical works, including the question of prephilosophical experiences and the ethical signification of money, justice, and the State., The informality of the interviews prompts Levinas to address matters about which he is reticent in his published works, notably the relation of his ethical philosophy to theological questions, the intrication of the Hebrew Bible in Greek philosophy, his substantial corpus of "nonphilosophical" or "confessional" writings on the Talmud, and recollections of his extraordinary talmudic teacher, Shoshani., The centerpiece of the volume is a previously untranslated 1986 interview with François Poirié. Containing Levinas's sole extended discussion of biographical matters with an interviewer, this text helps to situate Levinas in his contemporary intellectual world and to clarify his place in French thought." - CONTENTS: Introduction: "Après vous, Monsieur!" -- pt. 1.

Lévinas, Emmanuel, 1905-1995. In the time of the nations. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1994, xii, 197pp., very good dust-jacket, tiny stain at bottom of spine on jacket only, very good black cloth, appears little used if at all. The 'nations' of the title are the 'seventy nations': in the Talmudic idiom, the whole of humanity surrounding Israel. In this major collection of essays, Levinas considers Judaism's uncertain relationship to European culture since the Enlightenment, problems of distance and integration. It also includes five Talmudic readings from between 1981 and 1986, essays on Franz Rosenzweig and Moses Mendelssohn, and a discussion with Francoise Armengaud which raises questions of central importance to Jewish philosophy in the context of general philosophy. This work brings to the fore the vital encounter between philosophy and Judaism, a hallmark of Levinas's thought. - CONTENTS: Translator's Note -- Glossary of Hebrew Terms -- Author's Foreword -- For a Place in the Bible -- The Translation of the Scripture -- Contempt for the Torah as Idolatry -- Beyond Memory -- The Nations and the Presence of Israel -- From Ethics to Exegesis -- Judaism and Kenosis -- The Bible and the Greek -- Moses Mendelssohn's Thought -- A Figure and a Period -- The Philosophy of Franz Rosenzweig -- Judaism and Christianity -- On Jewish Philosophy -- Notes -- General Index -- Index of Biblical Passages. 9780253332950 ISBN 0253332958.…
