In this much-needed introduction, Davis unpacks the concepts at thecentre of Levinas's thought - alterity, the Other, the Face,infinity - concepts which have previously presented readers withmajor problems of interpretation.
Davis traces the development of Levinas's thought over sixdecades, describing the context in which he worked, and the impactof his writings. He argues that Levinas's work remains tied to theontological tradition with which he wants to break, anddemonstrates how his later writing tries to overcome thisdependency by its increasingly disruptive, sometimes opaque,textual practice. He discusses Levinas's theological writings andhis relationship to Judaism, as well as the reception of his workby contemporary thinkers, arguing that the influence of his workhas led to a growing interest in ethical issues amongpoststructuralist and postmodernist thinkers in recent years.
Comprehensive and clearly written, this book will be essentialreading for students and researchers in continental philosophy,French studies, literary theory and theology.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
