Overview

The text offers a reading of Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida against the backdrop of 19th and 20th century philosophy (Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig) and phenomenology (Husserl, Schutz). Based on Cohen's ethics of correlation the book seeks to demonstrate how far it is possible to read Levinas and Derrida as constructing similar approaches to ethics. In contrast with other books, this one asserts that deconstruction is concerned with ethics but it casts this claim in a Jewish/phenomenological framework to show what the sources of such an ethics might be. The text provides an insight into Derrida's and Levinas' connection with each other. It should be of interest to Cohen and Husserl scholars as well as scholars with a general interest in modern Jewish thought and post-modern issues.
