Dedicated to scholarly work on the innovations and implications of the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, Levinas Studies includes insightful and inspiring essays by well-known and newer Levinas scholars. One volume of original essays appears each year. This volume features an interview with Levinas previously published only in Dutch. In the accompanying essays, some contributors probe Levinas's thought as it develops a theory of ethical politics capable of attending to themes of community, statehood, peace, and violence, while others examine the relation of that theory to the work of contemporary political philosohers including Antonio Negri, Charles Taylor, and Simone Weil. Hardcover is un-jacketed.
