Description
Book SynopsisThis volume of essays investigates the question of Levinas's relationship to feminist thought. Levinas breaks with Heidegger's phenomenology by understanding the ethical relation to the "Other," the face-to-face, as exceeding the language of ontology.
Trade Review“Chanter has assembles an excellent collection of essays. She acknowledges the conflictual relationship that has existed between feminist scholars and Levinas since feminist theory arrived on the philosophical scene.
The collection is excellent for feminist scholars who want an introduction to Levinas and important for scholars, upper-division undergraduates, and graduate students of Levinas and feminist philosophy and theology.”
—D. J. Livingston CHOICE
“This collection is a welcome addition to the rapidly growing body of literature centered on Levinas and the project of ethics as ‘first philosophy.'”
—Christian Diehm APA Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy
“In all, Feminist Interpretations of Emmanuel Levinas is an excellent collection for those interested in Levinas.”
