| 1. |  | Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority (Philosophical Series) from Duquesne University Press Price: $19.45 Customer Review:  I loved this book in my twenties and still love it. Its insights are timeless and can appeal to people of all ages and, in my view, different religions. Pope John Paul II often referred to Levinas's Philosophy of the Face. Levinas was able to elucidate quite clearly how a person's face can mirror... |

| 2. |  | Otherwise Than Being: Or Beyond Essence from Duquesne University Press Price: $19.35 Customer Review:  Otherwise Than Being (along with Existence and Existents), is basic to the understanding of Levinas' philosophical thought. Some of the fundamental problems with the ideas in Otherwise Than Being are resolved more fully in Levina's "mature work" (like Entre Nous), things such as overreliance on... |

| 3. |  | Time and the Other from Duquesne University Press Price: $16.78 Customer Review: TIME AND THE OTHER was first presented as a series of lectures in 1946/47 at the College Philosophique, in the intellectually charged atmosphere of post-war Paris. Along with EXISTENCE AND EXISTENTS it represents the first book length formulation of Levinas's own philosophy of ethical metaphysics.... |

| 4. |  | Ethics and Infinity: Conversations with Philippe Nemo from Duquesne University Press Price: $12.53 Customer Review: This is as easy to read (and understand) as Levinas can be. It is short and in the form of an interview. If you are just looking for a broad concept of what he is all about - this is a great book. It gives you a nice overview on his major points and from there on you might want to explore some of... |

| 5. |  | Humanism of the Other from University of Illinois Press Price: $17.05 Customer Review:  A new translation (by Nidra Poller) of Emmanuel Levinas' 1972 collection of essays originally entitled Humanisme de l'autre homme. The three Levinas essays/chapters included are "Signification and Sense" (first published in 1964), "Humanism and An-archy (1968), and "Without Identity (1970). The text... |

| 6. |  | God, Death, and Time (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) from Stanford University Press Price: $18.72 Customer Review: I don't intend a long review here, but I thought it worth commenting, in lack of any other reviews. I have found this text to be the most clear exposition of Levinasian philosophy available. It consists of 2 lecture courses and thus the chapters are very well broken down, short and oriented... |

| 7. |  | Nine Talmudic Readings from Indiana University Press Price: $130.00 Customer Review: This is the book that's noted for the famous quote about how we might be able to forgive some Nazis but never Heidigger. And while that's a great line, it's even more profound in the context of a story about a rabbi that didn't begin teaching again for the last late student - a seemingly inocuous... |

| 8. |  | Alterity and Transcendence from Columbia University Press Price: $23.61 Customer Review: When I bought this book, I was attempting to catch the crest of a wave in philosophy, expecting a lot of mental activity in the wake of the death of Levinas (1906-1995) to help put my frame of values within the scope of current thought. But I'm more of a modern fragmentist~thinking through... |

| 9. |  | To the Other: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas (Purdue University Series in the History of Philosophy) (Purdue Series in the History of Philosophy) from Purdue University Press Price: $22.45 Customer Review: The previous reviewer seems to misunderstand this book and the series to which it belongs. The series provides classic texts with commentaries by scholars who are expert in the field. Adriaan Peperzak is certainly one of the best Levinas scholars around, and this book gives us a good introduction... |

| 11. |  | Of God Who Comes to Mind (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) from Stanford University Press Price: $19.51 Customer Review: "The Infinite concerns me and encircles me, speaking to me through my own mouth. And there is no pure witnessing except of the Infinite. This is not a psychological wonder, but the modality according to which the Infinite comes to pass, signifying through him to whom it signifies, understood insofar... |

| 13. |  | On Escape: De l'evasion (Cultural Memory in the Present) from Stanford University Press Price: $11.99 Customer Review: Originally published in 1935, this English translation and publication of _On Escape_ brings the reader closer to the early thoughts and writings of Emmanuel Levinas than previous publications. His first major original manuscript after his dissertation on Husserl's theory of intuition, _Existence... |

| 14. |  | Discovering Existence with Husserl (SPEP) from Northwestern University Press Price: $21.95 Customer Review: Cohen's translation includes many of Levinas' important essays on Husserl, and holds a special place in Levinas scholarship for this reason. The essays in the book range from the 1930s to the 1980s, so it is useful for tracking the development of Levinas' reading of Husserl over the years. More... |

| 15. |  | Difficult Freedom: Essays on Judaism (Johns Hopkins Jewish Studies) from The Johns Hopkins University Press Price: $14.05 Customer Review: Emmanuel Levinas came from an orthodox Lithuanian background but left for France in the 1930' to study with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger in Germany. In time he developed his ethical theory of "The Other" for which Levinas is famous today. He remained an observant Jew all his life but... |

| 16. |  | Yosl Rakover Talks to God from Jonathan Cape Customer Review: In my reading of 'Yosl Rakover talks to God' I felt that he was speaking for all of the Jewish people. I felt he had found a voice so powerful and true in addressing God that he was saying what so many of us have thought for so long and not been able to express. I know that this is a fictional... |

The pieces range from discussions of ethical, philosophical and theological questions in the work of Buber, Max Picard, Proust, Derrida and, especially, Maurice Blanchot. These works will be of interest to anyone... |
