The contributions of this volume discuss the legacy of Emmanuel Levinas? philosophy.

In four parts, ?First Philosophy, Phenomenology, and Ethics,? ?Phenomenology and its Theological Turn?,? ?Ethics and Aesthetics,? ?Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, Deconstruction,? the major themes in Levinas? oeuvre are addressed, such as alterity, human dignity, religion, and communication.



Contributors: Thomas Baumeister, Andris Breitling, Roger Burggraeve, Arthur Cools, Sylvie Courtine-Denamy, Eddo Evink, Matthias Flatscher, Gert-Jan van der Heiden, Alwin Letzkus, Burkhard Liebsch, Michel Lisse, Stefano Micali, Marcel Poorthuis, Renée van Riessen, Johan Taels, László Tengelyi, Rudi Visker, Jacques de Visscher, Elisabeth Weber.

"Overall, Debating Levinas' Legacy provides new insights into the traditional problems that have been central issues for Levinas scholars?The fact that the book combines essays written in English with essays in German and French testifies to its appreciation of the plurality of philosophical languages and adds to its international appeal." - Geoffrey Dierckxsens, University of Antwerp, in: Ethical Perspectives 23 (2016) 3
