Produktbeschreibung
Levinas´s idea of ethics as a relation of responsibility to the other person has become a highly influential and recognizable position across a wide range of academic and non-academic fields. Simon Critchley´s aim in this book is to provide a less familiar, more troubling, and (hopefully) truer account of Levinas´s work. A new dramatic method for reading Levinas is proposed, where the fundamental problem of his work is seen as the attempt to escape from the tragedyof Heidegger´s philosophy and the way in which that philosophy shaped political events in the last century. Extensive and careful attention is paid to Levinas´ fascinating but often overlooked work from the 1930s, where the proximity to Heidegger becomes clearer. Levinas´s problem is very simple: howto escape from the tragic fatality of being as described by Heidegger. Levinas´s later work is a series of attempts to answer that problem through claims about ethical selfhood and a series of phenomenological experiences, especially erotic relations and the relation to the child. These claims are analyzed in the book through close textual readings. Critchley reveals the problem with Levinas´s answer to his own philosophical question and suggests a number of criticisms, particular concerningthe question of gender. In the final, speculative part of the book, another answer to Levinas´s problem is explored through a reading of the Song of Songs and the lens of mystical love.
