Book Synopsis
A close reading of Emmanuel Levinas’s masterpiece Totality and Infinity which leads to a rehabilitation of the Metaphysical question beyond its deconstructive critique during the XXth Century.

Trade Review
"Raoul Moati's Levinas and the Night of Being represents a turning point in Levinasian exegesis... Moati departs from the teleological illusion of reading Levinas's early works against the backdrop of the late material-as if the 'truth' of the former somehow lies hidden within the latter. Against this tendency, Moati rather simply takes up Totality and Infinity and reads it for itself... Moati recognizes the irreducible originality of a project from which we may garner certain insights that are to some extent lost with Otherwise Than Being." -- -from Jocelyn Benoist's Foreword
