Editorial Reviews

'This is one of the most significant book-length engagements with the thought of Levinas in any language. It is of the same order of importance as Derrida's seminal essay on Levinas, 'Violence and Metaphysics'. At this level and intensity of reading the distinction between original works and commentary falls away; here we are in the presence of thinking itself, with all its difficulty and opacity.' - Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology
