Reviews

""The essays in this volume offer ways of reading Levinas's philosophical corpus that are more in tune with how Levinas himself invites approaches consistent with his own formulations of his project. This is indeed a welcome development."" — James D. Hatley, Salisbury University ""This book is unique in the way it foregrounds attempts to read Levinas through his own lens and methods. The essays collected here emphasize a faithfulness to Levinas’s work throughout, and, through many different angles and approaches, they exhibit what happens when his words and work are generally trusted and relied upon to shape interpretation."" — Eric R. Severson, Seattle University
