Description for Levinas Between Ethics and Politics
Hardback. Traces the unfolding of Levinas' phenomenology into his hermeneutic of subjectivity. This volume shows how the metaphysics of the 'face' and its ethical force must give rise, at the social and political levels, to an enigmatic reference to the third party, which resembles certain transcendental terms in German Idealism. Series: Phaenomenologica. Num Pages: 322 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPC; HPQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 19. Weight in Grams: 631.
