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 theory 606 $aLove 606 $2Philosophy 606 $aSex 606 $aTranscendence (Philosophy) 615 0$aLove. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aTranscendence (Philosophy) 676 $a128/.46 700 $aSandford$b Stella$f1966-$01654372 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821791303321 996 $aThe metaphysics of love$94006133 997 $aUNINA
