Abstract

In Essential Vulnerabilities, Deborah Achtenberg contests Emmanuel Levinas's idea that Plato is a philosopher of freedom for whom thought is a return to the self. Instead, Plato, like Levinas, is a philosopher of the other. Nonetheless, Achtenberg argues, Plato and Levinas are different. Though they share the view that human beings are essentially vulnerable and essentially in relation to others, they conceive human vulnerability and responsiveness differently. For Plato, when we see beautiful others, we are overwhelmed by the beauty of what is, by the vision of eternal form. For Levinas, we are disrupted by the newness, foreignness, or singularity of the other. The other, for him, is new or foreign, not eternal. The other is unknowable singularity. By showing these similarities and differences, Achtenberg resituates Plato in relation to Levinas and opens up two contrasting ways that self is essentially in relation to others.

Abstract

The posthumous publication of Emmanuel Levinas’s wartime diaries, postwar lectures, and drafts for two novels afford new approaches to understanding the relationship between literature, philosophy, and religion. This volume gathers an international list of experts to examine new questions raised by Levinas’s deep and creative experiment in thinking at the intersection of literature, philosophy, and religion. Chapters address the role and significance of poetry, narrative, and metaphor in accessing the ethical sense of ordinary life; Levinas's critical engagement with authors such as Leon Bloy, Paul Celan, Vassily Grossman, Marcel Proust, and Maurice Blanchot; analyses of Levinas’s draft novels Eros ou Triple opulence and La Dame de chez Wepler; and the application of Levinas's thought in reading contemporary authors such as Ian McEwen and Cormac McCarthy. Contributors include Danielle Cohen-Levinas, Kevin Hart, Eric Hoppenot, Vivian Liska, Jean-Luc Nancy and François-David Sebbah, among others.

Abstract

Maurice Blanchot et Emmanuel Lévinas ont marqué toute une génération d'intellectuels comme Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault ou Jacques Derrida. A travers la question du corps, de l'éthique, de l'amitié, du judaïsme, et du langage philosophique et littéraire, cet ouvrage tente de mieux faire comprendre la complexité de leurs questionnements et l'influence qu'ils ont pu exercer sur la pensée française du XXe siècle. Au-delà de l'hommage lié aux centenaires des naissances de Lévinas (1906) et de Blanchot (1907), c'est toute la question des points de convergences et de dissemblances entre ces deux penseurs qui est abordée ici. Cet ouvrage a été particulièrement soutenu par l'Association pour la Célébration du Centenaire Emmanuel Lévinas (ACCEL), le Ministère de la Culture et par l'UNESCO dans le cadre de la Journée mondiale de la Philosophie organisé en novembre 2006.
