Re-reading Levinas by Robert Bernasconi
These essays provoke new responses to the work of the eminent French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas through an analysis of how the problematics of reading, deconstruction, feminism, and psychotherapy complicate and deepen Levinas's account of responsibility. The re-reading presented here continues and expands on the long-standing debate between Levinas and Jacques Derrida. Published in English for the first time are two key texts in this debate: "Wholly Otherwise" by Levinas and "At this very moment in this work here I am" by Derrida.At the University of Memphis, Robert Bernasconi is the Moss Professor of Philosophy. He is the author of two Heidegger volumes and several papers on continental philosophy, political philosophy, and race theory. He is the editor of Race and the co-editor of The Concept of Race (with Tommy Lott). Re-reading Levinas and Emmanuel Levinas: Fundamental Philosophical Works are two of his publications published by Indiana University Press. At the University of Memphis, Sybol Cook is a Provost's Distinguished Pre-Doctoral Fellow.
