Levinas by Colin Davis

Levinas by Colin Davis

A comprehensive and much-needed introduction to the work of Levinas which will be accessible to students as well as researchers. Provides a detailed exposition of Levinas's thought and the philosophical landscape in which it is situated, involving a clear and patient discussion of his major works.

"Davis's book has many meritsThe style is spare, modest and clear. The scholarship is extremely accurate throughout, a task which is obviously helped by Davis's perfect knowledge of French, which enables him to comprehend and convey the singular quality of Levinas's prose. Davis's attention to the detail of Levinas's language is admirable and this is the first book I have read on Levinas in English that adequately explores the rhetorical dimension of his work.

Davis manages to provide the reader with a systematic overview of Levinas's philosophical work ... he has a fine sense of what is philosophically at stake in Levinas's mature thought, and achieves this task of elucidation without passing over the textual complexities and even contradictions of Levinas's writing." The Times Literary Supplement
