In part one, David Michael Kleinberg-Levin explores the voices of nature and draws on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology to offer a new way of thinking about environmental responsibility. In part two, he looks at the voice of the moral law and the voices of other human beings, advances a more nuanced account of Levinas's distinction between "Saying" and "Said," and proposes a new argument for our responsibility to the other. 410 0$aSUNY series in contemporary French thought. 606 $aEcology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthics, Modern 606 $aResponsibility 615 0$aEcology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthics, Modern. 615 0$aResponsibility. 676 $a194 700 $aKleinberg-Levin$b David Michael$f1939-$0496357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821574203321 996 $aBefore the voice of reason$93915788 997 $aUNINA
