Reviews

It is fascinating to witness Rozenberg's agile and wide-ranging mobilization of Kant's early and otherwise neglected notion of 'incongruent counterparts' to discover, interpret, and assimilate fundamental asymmetries found in such diverse discourses as those of Kant, Freud, and Lacan, especially, as well as those of Davidson, Goedel, and Tarski. By the same token, numerous topics such as logic, mathematics, the philosophy of language, Jewish thought, and Levinas' ethics of radical Otherness are illuminated. Rozenberg offers a synoptic tour of much contemporary theory. (Richard A. Cohen, University of North Carolina at Charlotte) I am impressed by this method of relating the issue of the unconscious to Levinas' ethics via the notion of Otherness. This notion transverses the field of mathematics...and takes us all the way through to 'Hebraic grammar'. (Paul Ricoeur, University of Paris 10-Nanterre and University of Chicago)
