Levinas and Plato on Love -- 5: Affectivity and Meaning: the Intelligibility of Transcendence -- Coda: Metaphysics and FeminismEmmanuel Levinas is best known for having reintroduced the question of ethics into the Continental philosophical tradition. In The Metaphysics of Love, however, Stella Sandford argues that an over-emphasis on ethics in the reception of Levinas's thought has covered over both the basis and the details of his philosophical project--a metaphysics which affirms the necessity to think of an unqualified transcendence as a first principle. Sandford's book is at the same time a powerful feminist critique of both Levinas's gendered philosophical categories and the attempt to reclaim aspects of this philosophy for feminist theoryLovePhilosophySexTranscendence (Philosophy)Love.Sex.Transcendence (Philosophy)128/.46Sandford Stella1966-1578907UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910784713503321The metaphysics of love3858603UNINA
