Levinas and Kierkegaard in Dialogue

Westphal, Merold

Levinas and Kierkegaard in Dialogue Merold Westphal - U.S.A. Indiana University Press 2008 - 185tr. Paperback 24cm

Few philosophers have devoted more than passing attention to similarities between the thought of Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish Christian, and Emmanuel Levinas, a French Jew. Here, one of philosophy of religion's most distinctive voices offers a sustained comparison. Focusing on questions surrounding otherness, transcendence, postmodernity, and the nature of religious thought, Merold Westphal draws readers into a dialogue between the two thinkers.
