Trade Review
Arguing against the received position that exile carries a negative connotation, Abigail Doukhan offers a re-reading of exile as a positive trope, one that also argues founds Levinas's philosophical project. Doukhan reads Levinas's philosophy as a philosophy of exile, one that bridges the gap between exile and ethics and thus offers new interpretive tools for thinking about societies in crisis as a result of the exile inside and outside the community. -- Claire Katz, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies at Texas A&M University, USA
