The One God and the Other: Levinas and Christian Theology Conclusion: Prophecy and the Ethical Plot of Humanity Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsThis volume goes to the heart of Levinas's profoundly original and thus challenging ethics, clarifying and highlighting its essentials without conflation, simplification, or superficial criticism, and accenting the all-important social transcendence or 'prophecy' of goodness that makes for the humanity of the human. --Richard A. Cohen, author of Levinasian Meditations: Ethics, Philosophy, and Religion Philosophy as Prophecy accomplishes a critical task. Bringing together Levinas's philosophical writings and his writings on Judaism, Jeffrey Bloechl offers a fresh interpretation of Levinas's phenomenology. Using his expertise in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and religious studies, Bloechl's approach to phenomenology addresses some of the fundamental questions in Levinas's corpus. This book is a must read for everyone working in Levinas scholarship, religious studies, and contemporary continental philosophy. --Claire Katz, author of Levinas and the Crisis of Humanism Author InformationJEFFREY BLOECHL is an associate professor of philosophy at Boston College and an honorary fellow of the Australian Catholic University.
