Abstract

The contributions of this volume discuss the legacy of Emmanuel Levinas’ philosophy. Examining critically the limits of his thinking, they also bear witness to its influence on contemporary philosophy, thus demonstrating the significance of his groundbreaking project of establishing ethics as first philosophy. In four parts, “First Philosophy, Phenomenology, and Ethics,” “Phenomenology and its Theological Turn?,” “Ethics and Aesthetics,” “Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, Deconstruction,“ the major themes in Levinas’ oeuvre are addressed, such as alterity, human dignity, religion, and communication. Contributors: Thomas Baumeister, Andris Breitling, Roger Burggraeve, Arthur Cools, Sylvie Courtine-Denamy, Eddo Evink, Matthias Flatscher, Gert-Jan van der Heiden, Alwin Letzkus, Burkhard Liebsch, Michel Lisse, Stefano Micali, Marcel Poorthuis, Renée van Riessen, Johan Taels, László Tengelyi, Rudi Visker, Jacques de Visscher, Elisabeth Weber.

Abstract

Long description: Was bedeutet es, naher Angehöriger eines Menschen im Wachkoma zu sein? An- und Zugehörige werden mit weitaus mehr Aufgaben und Herausforderungen als denen der Pflegebedürftigkeit des zumeist schwerst körperlich und geistig Erkrankten konfrontiert. Die vorliegende fachübergreifende Arbeit mit dem Titel Wer ist der Andere? schildert umfassend die Erfahrungen und das Erleben pflegender, begleitender und betreuender Angehöriger an der Seite eines Menschen mit erworbener Hirnschädigung und reflektiert diese mithilfe des die Grenzen des Verstehens aufzeigenden Denkens Emmanuel Levinas'. Aus dem Blickwinkel dieser zutiefst humanen Philosophie erhalten aktuelle Diskussionen über ein Leben mit Krankheit und ein Sterben in Würde sowohl in Hinblick auf medizinethische Fragestellungen als auch in Bezug auf den gesellschaftlichen und institutionellen Umgang mit den betroffenen Familien neue Impulse. Diese fußen -- auch vor dem Hintergrund der modernen Leistungsgesellschaft und dem Kostendruck des Gesundheitswesens -- auf einem verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Anderssein und Veränderung individuellen Lebens und erteilen jeglicher Beliebigkeit zwischenmenschlicher Beziehung eine klare Absage.

Abstract

The reputation and influence of Emmanuel Levinas (1906-96) has grown powerfully. Well known in France in his lifetime, he has since his death become widely regarded as a major European moral philosopher profoundly shaped by his Jewish background. A pupil of Husserl and Heidegger, Levinas pioneered new forms of exegesis with his post-modern readings of the Talmud, and as an ethicist brought together religious and non-religious, Jewish and non-Jewish traditions of contemporary thought. Richard A. Cohen has written a book which uses Levinas' work as its base but goes on to explore broader questions of interpretation in the context of text-based ethical thinking. Levinas' reorientation of philosophy is considered in critical contrast to alternative contemporary approaches such as those found in modern science, psychology, Nietzsche, Freud, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Ricoeur. Cohen explores a manner of philosophizing which he terms 'ethical exegesis'.

Abstract

This monograph initiates the conversation between Levinas and postcolonial theory through a zig-zag reading asking both how postcolonial theory challenges so many Levinasian concepts and how a Levinasian ethics is crucial for the normative dimension of postcolonial thinking.

Abstract

This book contrasts Nietzsche's and Levinas' deconstructions of Greco-European thought and their critiques of morality. Through examining their approaches to deconstruction, the author reveals the motivations of their critiques and shows their unique position in philosophical discourse. Nietzsche's and Levinas' alternatives to the prevailing moral values of their time are then compared and contrasted. Both alternatives point towards every individual's unbounded responsibility, illustrated by examples from Dostoevsky texts.

Abstract

In Discovering Levinas, Michael L. Morgan shows how this thinker faces in novel and provocative ways central philosophical problems of twentieth-century philosophy and religious thought. He tackles this task by placing Levinas in conversation with philosophers such as Donald Davidson, Stanley Cavell, John McDowell, Onora O'Neill, Charles Taylor, and Cora Diamond. He also seeks to understand Levinas within philosophical, religious, and political developments in the history of twentieth-century intellectual culture. Morgan demystifies Levinas by examining his unfamiliar and surprising vocabulary, interpreting texts with an eye to clarity, and arguing that Levinas can be understood as a philosopher of the everyday. Morgan also shows that Levinas's ethics is not morally and politically irrelevant nor is it excessively narrow and demanding in unacceptable ways. Neither glib dismissal nor fawning acceptance, this book provides a sympathetic reading that can form a foundation for a responsible critique.
