This book argues against the idea, affirmed by Levinas himself, that Totality and Infinity and Otherwise Than Being separate philosophy from Judaism. By reading Levinas's philosophical works through the prism of Judaic texts and ideas, Michael Fagenblat argues that what Levinas called "ethics" is as much a hermeneutical product wrought from the Judaic heritage as a series of phenomenological observations. Decoding the Levinas's philosophy of Judaism within a Heideggerian and Pauline framework, Fagenblat uses biblical, rabbinic, and Maimonidean texts to provide sustained interpretations of the philosopher's work. Ultimately he calls for a reconsideration of the relation between tradition and philosophy, and of the meaning of faith after the death of epistemology.Cultural Memory in the PresentLe ́vinas, EmmanuelEthics, ModernPhilosophy20th centuryJudaismPhilosophy, FrenchLe ́vinas, Emmanuel.Ethics, ModernPhilosophyJudaismPhilosophy, French194194Fagenblat Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1130859DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910784949903321A Covenant of Creatures3765171UNINA
