Entre Nous is a major collection of essays representing the culmination of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy. Bringing together his most important work in a single volume the book reveals the development of his thought over nearly forty years of committed inquiry. Here he engages with issues of suffering, love, religion, culture, justice, human rights, and legal theory and each issue is discussed in relation to the ethical dimensions of otherness. Like much of his work this text bridges several major gaps in the evolution of Continental philosophy, between modernism and postmodernism, phenomenology and poststructuralism, ethics and ontology. Emmanuel Levinas's thought has had a profound influence on twentieth-century European philosophy. This collection of essays on religion, politics, and the primary of ethics presents a superb introduction to his work. It allows us to see the scope and significance of one of the defining thinkers of our time.
