Entre Nous Summary

Entre Nous by Emmanuel Levinas

Entre Nous is a major collection of essays representing the culmination of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy. Bringing together his most important work in a single volume the book reveals the development of his thought over nearly forty years of committed inquiry. Here he engages with issues of suffering, love, religion, culture, justice, human rights, and legal theory and each issue is discussed in relation to the ethical dimensions of otherness. Like much of his work this text bridges several major gaps in the evolution of Continental philosophy, between modernism and postmodernism, phenomenology and poststructuralism, ethics and ontology.

Entre Nous Reviews

The most definitive, accessible, and cogently argued statement of his philosophy that Levinas ever published. What makes Entre Nous so remarkable is that it summarizes and clarifies the central arguments of his long career. * CHOICE *
An excellent introduction to one of the most influential Continental philosophers.... Exceptionally stimulating. * Library Journal *
Emmanuel Levinas's thought has had a profound influence on twentieth-century European philosophy. This collection of essays on religion, politics, and the primary of ethics presents a superb introduction to his work. It allows us to see the scope and significance of one of the defining thinkers of our time. * Arnold I. Davidson, Professor of the Philosophy of Religion, University of Chicago, USA *
