Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La philosophie morale reste-t-elle possible et nécessaire ? Les succès actuels des livres de morale, des expressions telles que « génération morale », laissent penser que, malgré la crise du sujet, la réflexion morale est en plein renouveau. Sans prôner aucun «retour» aux illusions précédant la psychanalyse, l'histoire, la sociologie et l'essor de la biologie contemporaine, Catherine Chalier, philosophe, maître de conférences à l'université de Paris-X-Nanterre, voudrait réfléchir à la responsabilité qu'impose cette nouvelle actualité de l'éthique. Pour ne pas être dupe de cette actualité, parfois si mondaine, et pour accorder tout leur poids aux actes de l'homme, la confrontation termes à termes des philosophies de Kant et de Levinas (bonne volonté, Bien, Mal, liberté, etc.) ne pouvait être que fructueuse. Avec eux, contre l'objectivisme scientiste d'aujourd'hui, Catherine Chalier rappelle que la morale ne se déduit d'aucun savoir théorique, car l'urgence et l'espérance dont est porteuse la question « Que dois-je faire ?» excèdent les limites imparties à la connaissance et trouvent tout leur sens, précisément, dans une pensée du sujet humain. L'éthique, oeuvre de toute une vie, n'est pas une attitude éphémère ; la nécessité intérieure de penser la morale à la fin d'un siècle qui semble en avoir aboli jusqu'à l'idée demeure inentamée. En méditer la signification, c'est, inlassablement, rendre témoignage à l'humanité de l'homme.

Book excerpt: "After Poststructuralism is an accessible account of the past and present fortunes of theory, suitable for anyone researching, teaching or studying in the field. However, it offers much more than this, by tracing the real contribution of poststructuralist thought to core philosophical and critical issues. Most importantly, Colin Davis's study offers a way forward for the humanities - a way forward in which theory will play a crucial part."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If not simple opposition or simple juxtaposition, what is the relation between the writings to which Derrida and Levinas appose their signatures? What would each endorse in the writings of the other? What is it to sign and endorse? How does one assume responsibility, and how does one avoid assuming it? These are some of the probing questions that the prominent Continental philosopher John Llewelyn takes up in Appositions, which brings together and synthesises fifteen essays written during the past twenty years. Drawing out the metaphor of the Greek letter chi, or "x," Llewelyn apposes the discussions of the two philosophers, applying their thought to one another. In considering the work of Derrida and Levinas from the points of view of philosophy, linguistics, logic, and theology, Llewelyn invokes a diverse array of philosophers, theologians, and literary figures, including Austin, Defoe, Hegel, Heidegger, Jankelevitch, Kant, Mallarme, Plato, Ponge, Ramsey, Rosenzweig, Russell, Saussure, and Valery. This book by a powerfully original thinker and first-rate interpreter is essential reading for all those interested in the writings of Derrida and Levinas and in the ways in which their thinking intersects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans "Par-delà le bien et le mal" (original allemand : Jenseits von Gut und Böse), Nietzsche développe les idées introduites dans "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra", en proposant une critique plus détaillée de la morale et de la philosophie traditionnelles. Il remet en question la dichotomie du bien et du mal, plaidant pour une compréhension plus nuancée de la morale qui transcende ces catégories simplistes. Ce livre est un examen critique des préjugés et des hypothèses qui sous-tendent la pensée occidentale, appelant à une réévaluation des valeurs et à l'adoption d'une approche plus dynamique et perspectiviste de la vérité et de la connaissance. Publié pour la première fois en 1886 par la maison d'édition C. G. Naumann à Leipzig, en Allemagne, cette nouvelle traduction de 2024 du manuscrit original allemand de 1886 contient une nouvelle postface du traducteur, une chronologie de la vie et de l'œuvre de Nietzsche, un index avec des descriptions de ses principaux concepts et des résumés de l'ensemble de son œuvre. Cette nouvelle traduction de 2024 du manuscrit original allemand, latin et grec contient une nouvelle postface du traducteur, une chronologie de la vie et de l'œuvre de Nietzsche, un index avec des descriptions de ses concepts fondamentaux et des résumés de l'ensemble de son œuvre. Cette traduction est conçue pour permettre au philosophe amateur de s'engager profondément dans les œuvres de Nietzsche sans avoir à être un universitaire à plein temps. La langue est moderne et claire, avec des structures de phrases et une diction simplifiées pour rendre le langage et les arguments complexes de Nietzsche aussi accessibles que possible. Cette édition pour lecteurs contient également du matériel supplémentaire qui amplifie le manuscrit avec un contexte autobiographique, historique et linguistique. Elle offre au lecteur une vision globale de ce philosophe très énigmatique, à la fois comme introduction et comme exploration des œuvres de Nietzsche, depuis la compréhension générale de son projet philosophique jusqu'à l'exploration des profondeurs de sa métaphysique et de ses contributions uniques. Cette édition contient : • une postface du traducteur sur l'histoire, l'impact et l'héritage intellectuel de Nietzsche • Des notes de traduction sur le manuscrit original allemand • Un index des concepts philosophiques utilisés par Nietzsche, en particulier l'existentialisme et la phénoménologie. • une liste chronologique complète de l'ensemble des œuvres de Nietzsche • Une chronologie détaillée du parcours de Nietzsche • Un extrait de l'Ecce Homo de Nietzsche de 1889 en guise d'addendum, dans lequel il réfléchit aux intentions qui ont présidé à la rédaction de l'Ecce Homo, un an seulement avant sa mort prématurée. Pour Nietzsche, "Par-delà le bien et le mal" est le mode de pensée préhistorique (ou présocratique) dans lequel les actions sont jugées en fonction de leurs effets. La morale n'est apparue que lorsque les actions ont été jugées en fonction de leurs intentions - en particulier dans la "morale de l'esclave" du christianisme primitif. La demande de Nietzsche était de revenir à la perspective de l'ère pré-morale ; sa contre-proposition est une nouvelle philosophie de l'"immoralité" liée à la perspective particulière de l'individu, qui a été adoptée sans réserve par le régime nazi et plusieurs autres mouvements génocidaires du 20e siècle. L'Übermench doit dominer toutes choses sans entrave et ne doit pas être gêné par les "faibles".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to apply a theoretical approach to ethics? The French philosopher Catherine Chalier addresses this question with an unusual combination of traditional ethics and continental philosophy. In a powerful argument for the necessity of moral reflection, Chalier counters the notion that morality can be derived from theoretical knowledge. Chalier analyzes the positions of two great moral philosophers, Kant and Levinas. While both are critical of an ethics founded on knowledge, their criticisms spring from distinctly different points of view. Chalier reexamines their conclusions, pitting Levinas against (and with) Kant, to interrogate the very foundations of moral philosophy and moral imperatives. She provides a clear, systematic comparison of their positions on essential ideas such as free will, happiness, freedom, and evil. Although based on a close and elegant presentation of Kant and Levinas, Chalier's book serves as a context for the development of the author's own reflections on the question "What am I supposed to do?" and its continued importance for contemporary philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emmanuel Levinas is now widely recognised alongside Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Sartre as one of the most important Continental philosophers of the twentieth century. His abiding concern was the primacy of the ethical relation to the other person and his central thesis was that ethics is first philosophy. His work has also had a profound impact on a number of fields outside philosophy such as theology, Jewish studies, literature and cultural theory, psychotherapy, sociology, political theory, international relations theory and critical legal theory. This volume, first published in 2002, contains overviews of Levinas's contribution in a number of fields, and includes detailed discussions of his early and late work, his relation to Judaism and talmudic commentary, and his contributions to aesthetics and the philosophy of religion.

Book excerpt: This important new book compares the respective oeuvre of two seminal thinkers of the 20th century, Emmanuel Levinas and Albert Camus. Tal Sessler compares their lasting legacies within the specific context of intellectual resistance to totalitarianism and political violence, with particular focus on their respective approaches to the Holocaust and genocide in the 20th century and, correspondingly, the question of theodicy and religious faith. Levinas and Camus explores each thinker's congruent and complimentary metaphysical and political rationale in opposing tyranny. Sessler emphasises the religious component in Levinas's depiction of Hitlerism as paganism (a perception that Camus shares), and the correlation between liberalism and monotheism. The book explores Levinas and Camus's reflections on the Holocaust and the question of theodicy and deals with their corresponding critiques of Stalinism and Hegelian philosophy of history. Sessler goes on to consider how Levinas and Camus would have contended with the central political issue of our own era, religious fundamentalism, and explicates the dualist nature of Israel and Algeria in the writings of Levinas and Camus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Adina Bozga attempts to make room for what she calls a phenomenology of singularity. Bozga believes that Edmund Husserl's phenomenology undermines the possibility of an adequate phenomenological account of the singular, however she maintains that the singular can be retrieved by radicalising the phenomenological project. She illustrates this by focusing on the manner in which phenomenology understands the phenomena of time, the self and the world. In the first part of her book Bozga argues that Husserl's phenomenology makes room for what she calls ‘a phenomenology on singuarlity'. This comes to light when studying Husserl's account of sensuous hyle, the individual, the transcendental Ego and the world. However, she argues that Husserl fails to provide for a phenomenology ofsingularity since according to Husserl, phenomenology can and should only describe what is given to the synthetic structure of intentional consciousness. Since the singular refers to a unity that is absolutely original and cannot be appropriated by the reflective gaze of consciousness - it refers to a non-phenomenon that refuses to be given - it thus appears that the singular has to remain outside the realm of phenomenological description. To avoid this conclusion, Bozga argues that if phenomenology wishes to remain true to its principle, namely, to ‘return to the things themselves', it should facilitate the return to such a primal ‘non-synthetic singular'. In the second part of the book she there foresets herself the task of exploring whether such a return is possible within the phenomenological project. Initially Bozga focuses on Emmanuel Levinas' work to show that we can account for the singular either by pointing to a radical transcendence or to a radical immanence. She believes the latter to be truer to the spirit of phenomenology and illustrates this point by turning to the work of Michel Henry. According to Bozga, Henry provides a way toward a phenomenology of singularity. Henry believes that thereis a pre-phenomenal auto-affected and incarnate life that can never be integrated into the intentional structure of consciousness without doing violence. Since this life lies outside the reflective grasp of the ego, Henry argues that we can only account for it by radicalising the reduction, that is, by suspending synthetic thought. This suspension manifests itself in the form of suffering, as it questions the spontaneity of the Ego. Bozga thus shows that the non-synthetic singular can ‘manifests' itself, not as something that is given or present to consciousness, but as a gift to which the subject is always already ‘sub-jected'. Bozga explores how we can account for such a life. The problem seems to be that if it lies outside the synthetic structure of intentional consciousness, then it lies outside philosophy as well. It is thus not surprising that Henry draws on religious themes in order to account for such a life. Yet the question arises whether there is not another mode of experience that is neither theoretical nor religious. The book is extremely timely since it touches on themes that are of paramount importance within the phenomenological tradition in France today. Particularly impressive is Bozga's use of Michel Henry, who is hardly known in the English speaking world and whose work is still in need of translation. Hopefully this book will bring about an interest in his work which is long overdue. Lilian Alweiss

Book excerpt: In a world in which everything is reduced "to the play of signs detached from what is signified," Levinas asks a deceptively simple question: Whence, then, comes the urge to question injustice? By seeing the demand for justice for the other—the homeless, the destitute—as a return to morality, Levinas escapes the suspect finality of any ideology.Levinas’s question is one starting point for In Proximity, a collection of seventeen essays by scholars in eighteenth-century literature, philosophy, history, and religion, and their readings of Spinoza, Kant, Goethe, Wordsworth, Behn, Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, Diderot, Laclos, and Mendelssohn. The title In Proximity alone speaks volumes about Levinas’s philosophy and its relevance today. "If it is true that we are, through technology, moving closer and closer to one another," writes editor Melvyn New, then "the importance of proximity and our response to it cannot be overstated." For the contributors to this volume, the question of whether we may, ethically, appropriate the object of study for our own causes has become vital. Levinas asks us to see ourselves, our own reading, "in proximity" to what is not ourselves, not our understanding of the world.The dialogue created among the essays themselves establishes an enormous diversity of texts and ideologies to which Levinas can contribute something of significant value. At a time when the secondary literature on Levinas and his work is expanding explosively, the cross-disciplinary voices gathered together in In Proximity come at precisely the right time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How might the ethical philosophy of the renowned French thinker Emmanuel Levinas relate to literature? Because his philosophy addresses the very opening of ethical experience, it cannot be applied readily as a critical method to literary texts. Yet Levinas's work, studded as it is with literary sources and quotations, demands a literary account. With an attitude at once respectful and interrogative, closely attentive to Levinas's texts while in dialogue with readings by Derrida, Blanchot, and Bataille, Altered Reading shows how the thread of the literary leads directly to the internal tensions of Levinas's ethical discourse. Jill Robbins provides a comprehensive critical account of Levinas's early and mature philosophy as well as later key transitional essays. In an invaluable appendix, she includes her own translation of an important, previously untranslated essay by Bataille on Levinas. Altered Reading will interest philosophers, literary critics, scholars of religion, and others drawn to Levinas's work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For philosophers such as Kant, the imagination is the starting point for all thought. For others, such as Wittgenstein, what is important is only how the word 'imagination' is used. In spite of the attention the imagination has received from major philosophers, remarkably little has been written about the radically different interpretations they have made of it. The HypoCritical Imagination: Between Kant and Levinas is an outstanding contribution to this vaccuum. Focusing on Kant and Levinas, John Llewelyn takes us on a dazzling tour of the philosophical imagination. He shows us that despite the different treatments they accord to the imagination, there is much to be gained from comparing these two key thinkers. From Kant, Llewelyn shows how the imagination is the common root of all understanding. He contrasts this with the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, for whom the imagination plays an ambivalent role both as necessary for and a threat to recognition of the other. John Llewelyn also introduces the importance of the work of Heidegger Schelling, Hegel, Arendt and Derrida on the imagination and what this work can tell us about the relationship between the imagination and ethics, aesthetics and literature. The HypoCritical Imagination: Between Kant and Levinas is a brilliant reading of a neglected but important philosophical theme and is essential reading for those in contemporary philosophy, art theory and literature.

Book excerpt: Although considered as one of the 20th century most central ethical thinkers, Emmanuel Levinas claimed that his task was not to construct an ethics, but to seek the meaning of the ethical. In this study Stine Holte examines the problem of ethical meaning in Levinas' thinking and shows how the articulation of the ethical implies notions like trauma, melancholy, and shame, and hence a questioning of what we normally regard as meaningful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angelica Nuzzo offers a comprehensive reconstruction of Kant's theory of sensibility in his three Critiques. By introducing the notion of "transcendental embodiment," Nuzzo proposes a new understanding of Kant's views on science, nature, morality, and art. She shows that the issue of human embodiment is coherently addressed and key to comprehending vexing issues in Kant's work as a whole. In this penetrating book, Nuzzo enters new terrain and takes on questions Kant struggled with: How does a body that feels pleasure and pain, desire, anger, and fear understand and experience reason and strive toward knowledge? What grounds the body's experience of art and beauty? What kind of feeling is the feeling of being alive? As she comes to grips with answers, Nuzzo goes beyond Kant to revise our view of embodiment and the essential conditions that make human experience possible.
