Sensibility and Singularity: The Problem of Phenomenology in Levinas

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the relationship between Emmanuel Levinas and Husserlian phenomenology, challenging the view that Levinas distanced himself from Husserl. It argues that Husserl's ideas were crucial to Levinas's philosophy, particularly regarding the concept of the singularity of the Other. By examining Levinas's reinterpretations of Husserl's themes such as time, materiality, intentionality, and sense, the text highlights their importance to Levinas's ethical framework and his ongoing dialogue with the phenomenological tradition.
