Ethics and Infinity: Conversations with Philippe Nemo

Emmanuel Levinas
3.89/5 (438 ratings)
Ethics and Infinity shows Levinas' modesty and reserve and, above all, his rigor. Levinas is commenting here on the totality of his work. It is 'the best introduction' to his work.

Levinas brings together the phenomenology of Husserl, the fundamental ontology of Heidegger, and the Bible. In Heidegger, the fundamental relation is with Being, not with others. One dies alone, and so one lives alone. From the Bible, Levinas has learned that only the ethical relation allows us to go beyond the solitude of Being.

Levinas' philosophy is relevant today even if it does not seem to be concerned with so-called contemporary issues, for it deals with the essential in man. It is an invitation for each person to do what no one else can do for him.
