Trade ReviewEmmanuel Levinas devoted his last Sorbonne seminar, in 1976, to
The Essence of Manifestation. Those there present will remember the illuminating comments of the Master. And if the essays collected by Jeffrey Hanson and Michael Kelly happen to be even more illuminating to me at many places, it means probably that thirty-five years after Levinas, we are still beginning to read Henry — as he deserves to be read. -- Jean-Yves Lacoste, author of Experience and the Absolute and editor of The Encyclopedia of Christian Theology
