Book Description:
|
Morgan demystifies Levinas by examining his unfamiliar and surprising vocabulary, interpreting texts with an eye to clarity, and arguing that Levinas can be understood as a philosopher of the everyday. Neither glib dismissal nor fawning acceptance, Morgan provides a sympathetic reading that can form a foundation for a responsible critique.
