Ethics and Infinity

Éthique et Infini: Dialogues avec Philippe Nemo

This book compiles ten interviews with Levinas from the period of his mature thought, broadcast by Radio France Culture in 1981. Here, Levinas personally recounts his path to phenomenology, from From Being to Existents and Time and the Other, to Totality and Infinity, and finally to Other than Being or Essence. He also teases out the core concepts of his ethical phenomenology: "il ya," manifestation, secrecy, freedom, face, responsibility, substitution, witness, glory... These interviews are considered a faithful introduction to Levinas's thought.

This book is very easy to read, not only because it is short, but also because the arguments are easy to understand and concrete.
- Levinas Levinas... defends verbally a challenged and misunderstood written discourse, puts it back into operation, and puts it through the test of the present, of others - after all, it is ultimately meant to be spoken to others who are actually present in the present moment.
