Entre Nous

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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.
