Description
Book SynopsisPlaces Levinas in the context of American philosophy
Trade Review[This] book is recommended for anyone interested in a new reading of Levinas as well as the benefit of applying pragmatism to phenomenology.

Craig's book is most welcome, as it puts James into conversation with one of the most important continental (post-)phenomenological thinkers of the twentieth century, Emmanuel Levinas. These two philosophers might seem to be very different, and their divergences in writing styles, for instance, cannot be denied; yet, Craig shows convincingly that they do share a number of important ideas, many of which should make us rethink the very nature of ethics (and philosophy).
