Levinas's Existential Analytic: A Commentary on Totality and Infinity (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy)

By virtue of the originality and depth of its thought, Emmanuel Levinasâ‚¬s masterpiece, Totality and Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority, is destined to endure as one of the great works of philosophy. It is an essential text for understanding Levinasâ‚¬s discussion of â‚¬Å“the Other,â‚¬Â yet it is known as a â‚¬Å“difficultâ‚¬Â book. Modeled after Norman Kemp Smithâ‚¬s commentary on Kantâ‚¬s Critique of Pure Reason, Levinasâ‚¬s Existential Analytic guides both new and experienced readers through Levinasâ‚¬s text. James R. Mensch explicates Levinasâ‚¬s arguments and shows their historical referents, particularly with regard to Heidegger, Husserl, and Derrida. Students using this book alongside Totality and Infinity will be able to follow its arguments and grasp the subtle phenomenological analyses that fill it.
