Reviews

The political background to the debate between Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas has often distorted the philosophical dispute ... Fortunately, this volume approaches the debate with a clear view of the philosophical issue. It avoids polemically misconstruing Heidegger's thought without making light of Levinas's modification of it. - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
