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. 410 0$aCultural memory in the present. 606 $aEthics, Modern 606 $aJudaism$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, French$y20th century 615 0$aEthics, Modern. 615 0$aJudaism$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy, French 676 $a194 700 $aFagenblat$b Michael$01130859 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825907503321 996 $aA Covenant of Creatures$94033742 997 $aUNINA
