Levinas, for example, powerfully dedicates his 1974 book Otherwise than Being to the victims of the Holocaust, and turns attention to the state of philosophy after Auschwitz. Such an ethics radically challenges prior notions of autonomy and comprehension two key ideas for traditional ethical theory and, more generally, the Greek tradition. It seeks to respect the opacity of the other and avoid the dangers of hermeneutic violence. But how does such an ethics of the other translate into real, everyday life? What is at stake in thinking the other as Jew? Is the alterity of the Jew simply a counter to Greek universalism? Is a rhetoric of exceptionalism, with its unavoidable ontological residue, at odds with shifting political realities? Within this paradigm, what then becomes of the Arab or Muslim, the other of the Jew, the other of the other, so to speak? This line of ethical thought in its desire to bear witness to past suffering and come to terms with subjectivity after Auschwitz arguably brackets from analysis present operations of power. Would, then, a more sensitive historical approach expose the Palestinian as the other of the Israeli? Here, Zahi Zalloua offers a challenging intervention into how we configure the contemporary."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aSuspensions (Series) 606 $aContinental philosophy 606 $aJewish-Arab relations 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xIdentity 606 $aOther (Philosophy) 606 $aPalestinian Arabs$zIsrael$xEthnic identity 606 $2Ethics & moral philosophy 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 615 0$aJewish-Arab relations. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) 615 0$aPalestinian Arabs$xEthnic identity. 676 $a956.9405 700 $aZalloua$b Zahi Anbra$f1971-$01114921 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160267603321 996 $aContinental philosophy and the Palestinian question$92787562 997 $aUNINA
