"Essays by 14 Levinas scholars provide a fresh acount of the argument and purpose of Emmanuel Levinas's major work, Totality and Infinity, drawing parallels between Levinas and other thinkers; considering Levinas's relationship to other disciplines such as nursing, psychotherapy, and law; and bringing this seminal text to bear on specific, concrete issues of present-day concern"--Provided by publisher.

Emmanuel Levinas (1906—1995) emerged as an influential philosophical voice in the final decades of the twentieth century, and his reputation has continued to flourish and increase in our own day. His central themes—the primacy of the ethical and the core of ethics as our responsibility to and for others—speak to readers from a host of disciplines and perspectives. However, his writings and thought are challenging and difficult. The Oxford Handbook of Levinas contains essays that aim to clarify and engage Levinas and his writings in a number of ways. Some focus on central themes of his work, others on the ways in which he read and was influenced by figures from Plato, Hobbes, Descartes, and Kant to Blanchot, Husserl, Heidegger, and Derrida. Other essays focus on how his thinking has been appropriated in moral and political thought, psychology, film criticism, and more, and on the relation between his thinking and religious themes and traditions. Finally, several essays deal primarily with how readers have criticized Levinas and found him wanting. This volume exposes and explores both the depth of Levinas’s philosophical work and the range of applications to which it has been put, with special attention to clarifying how his interests in the human condition, the crisis of civilization, the centrality and character of ethics and morality, and the very meaning of human experience should be of interest to the widest range of readers.

Souvent presentee comme une doctrine toute faite, la pensee de Levinas se construit en realite dans une dynamique complexe de reinterpretations, voire de renversements de perspective. A mettre a jour cette genese mouvementee, on decouvre les meandres d'une pensee en devenir, dont l'elaboration ne cesse de s'accompagner de ruptures, de tensions, d'apories. Incontournable est en particulier la question de la derive sacrificielle qui marque, semble t il, le passage de Totalite et Infini a Autrement qu'etre ou au-dela de l'essence. Comment comprendre ce tournant, tant au plan conceptuel qu'existentiel ? Quels en sont les enjeux, dans la perspective des debats qu'a mots couverts Levinas poursuit sans relache avec Heidegger, Blanchot, Derrida ? Et que devoile-t-il de son positionnement par rapport a la tradition juive, au vu de l'emergence massive d'un lexique chretien sacrifice, expiation, substitution, kenose... dans ses ecrits de la derniere periode ? Autant d'interrogations auxquelles ce travail tente de repondre, en revelant notamment l'impact decisif qu'a eu sur le developpement de sa pensee ce qu'il nomme la Passion d'Israel durant la Shoah.
