Difficult Freedom by Emmanuel Levinas

Insofar as these confessional writings continue to a certain extent Levinas's meditations on the face, they are considered essential to a serious appraisal of his work as a wholeBut there are additional reasons why these writings are of substantial interest. First, they make explicit a dimension in Levinas's work-its inspiration in or reference to Judaism-that is only implicit in the philosophical work... Secondly, these confessional writings in themselves constitute a remarkable access to and 'translation' of Judaism. MLN

Emmanuel Levinas was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, in 1906, and became a naturalized French citizen in 1930. His many books include Existences and Essences and Otherwise Than Being or Beyond Essence. He died in Paris in 1995.
