Emmanuel Levinas (1906-95) placed ethics at the foundation of philosophy; during his life, which spanned almost the entire twentieth century, he witnessed devastating events that could not have been more demanding of that philosophical stance. Unforeseen History covers the years 1929-92, providing a wide overview of Levinas's work-–especially his views on aesthetics and Judaism--offering examples of his precise thinking at work in small essays, long essays, and interviews. The earliest essays in Unforeseen History discuss phenomenology, a subject Levinas introduced to a great many French thinkers, including Jean-Paul Sartre. In his prescient 1934 essay "Some Thoughts on the Philosophy of Hitlerism," moreover, he confronted a philosophy that had yet to manifest itself fully in cataclysm.
"Totalitet och oändlighet" är den fransk-judiske filosofen Emmanuel Levinas viktigaste och mest inflytelserika verk. Här utvecklar han en fenomenologiskt förankrad etik med utgångspunkt i mötet med den andre, ansikte mot ansikte. För Levinas är etiken en ”första filosofi” – det är på den all annan filosofi vilar. Den har prioritet framför både kunskapsteori och ontologi och lägger grunden för förståelsen av språket som ett delande av världen med den andre. I Levinas etik kommer det omedelbara mötet med den andre före varje reflektion över intressen eller skyldigheter. Rättvisa är för honom inte främst en fråga om opartiskhet, utan om det krav som upplevs i mötet med den andres ansikte. Emmanuel Levinas (1906–1995) spelade en central roll för den fenomenologiska rörelsen i Frankrike. Han föddes i Litauen, studerade i Strasbourg och i Freiburg under Edmund Husserl och Martin Heidegger, och därefter i Paris. Han var professor vid Sorbonne fram till 1979. Vid sidan av sina filosofiska verk författade han kommentarer till judiska skrifter. "Totalité et infini" utkom 1961. Nu föreligger verket för första gången i en komplett svensk översättning av Carl Cederberg, som också svarar för en inledning.
Subaltern 3-4(2022) Politik och metafysik - Levinas, flykt och längtan efter fred

Sedan 2016 har tidskriften Subaltern kallat sig en tidskrift för politik och metafysik. Det kan framstå som en sammansättning av två oförenliga företeelser: Handlar inte politik om den konkreta, påtagliga verkligheten? Vad har politik då med metafysik att göra? Med föreliggande sista och avslutande nummer av tidskriften Subaltern, som presenterar två tidigare oöversatta texter av filosofen Emmanuel Levinas, ger vi ett möjligt svar på frågan. Det rör sig om två tidiga texter, Några reflexioner om hitlerismens filosofi (1934) och Om flykt (1935), som båda bearbetar Martin Heideggers tänkande och - inte minst - Levinas bestörtning över Heideggers val att alliera sig med den tyska nationalsocialistiska regimen. Medverkande: Giorgio Agamben, Mårten Björk, Aron Ericson, Emmanuel Levinas
Emmanuel Lévinas er dette århundredes store etiske tænker. I Etik og Uendelighed får man en kortfattet, men indholdsrig præsentation af hans fascinerende tænkning, hvor etikken er førstefilosofi. Bogens samtaler med Philippe Nemo fandt sted i 1981 og behandler bl.a. Lévinas’ baggrund i den jødiske kultur og et af hans tilbagevendende temaer: ansigtet. Forholdet til ansigtet er umiddelbart etisk: »Ansigtet er det, man ikke kan slå ihjel, eller i det mindste det, hvis betydning er: ’du må ikke slå ihjel’.« Hos Lévinas bryder ansigtets etik med totalitetsfilosofien. Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-95) blev født i Litauen og kom til Frankrig i 1923. Fra 1928-29 studerede han i Freiburg hos Edmund Husserl og Martin Heidegger og var fra 1961-67 professor i Poitiers og fra 1967 ved Sorbonne i Paris. Lévinas bidrog til fænomenologiens introduktion i Frankrig. På dansk foreligger desuden Totalitet og uendelighed (1996). Etik og Uendelighed udkom første gang på dansk i 1995 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.
I 1961 udkom Lévinas’ hovedværk Totalitet og Uendelighed, som samler 25 års fænomenologisk refleksion. Værket tager udgangspunkt i kropsligheden som grundlaget for eksistensen, førend tingene bliver til objekter, og førend vi forholder os refleksivt til os selv. Lévinas kritiserer både Husserl og Heidegger for at have glemt kroppens og sanselighedens betydning og bestemmer det menneskelige som dette at nyde uden nytte, idet nydelsen er kærligheden til livet. I Totalitet og Uendelighed gør Lévinas jeg-du-forholdet mellem mennesker til eksistensens mening, og ansigtet får i Lévinas’ tænkning en central, metafysisk dimension som fordringen om at tage vare på den anden. Dette er det egentlige og det uendelige i det enkelte menneskes eksistens, og etikken bliver herved ”første filosofi”. Lévinas blev født i Litauen i 1906 og flygtede i 1923 til Frankrig, hvor han indledte filosofiske studier. Efter et studieophold i Freiburg blev hans tænkning stærkt påvirket af Hegel, Husserl og Heidegger. Men også Franz Rosenzweig har med sin omfattende Hegelkritik præget Lévinas afgørende. Emmanuel Lévinas døde 1995 i Paris. Totalitet og Uendelighed udkom første gang på dansk i 1996 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzel Forlags klassikerserie.

Emmanuel Levinas’s interview with Françoise Armengaud in 1988 is one of the only statements we have from the philosopher, who became influential in various disciplines through his ethics that focuses on the fine arts specifically. Presented in English for the first time here, this interview brings us Levinas’s understanding of “obliteration” as an uncanny, disruptive, and even “unavailable” concept. Discussing the work of the French sculptor Sacha Sosno, Levinas parses the complex relationship between ethics and aesthetics, examining how they play out in artistic operations and practices. In doing so, he turns away from the “ease and lighthearted casualness of the beautiful” to shed light instead on the processes of material wear and tear and the traces of repair that go into the creation and maintenance of works of art, and which ultimately give them a profound uniqueness of presence. This evocative interview uncovers a hidden thread of aesthetic thinking in Levinas’s work and introduces a new way of looking at artistic practices in general.
Nine rich and masterful readings of the Talmud by the French Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas translate Jewish thought into the language of modern times. Between 1963 and 1975, Levinas delivered these commentaries at the annual Talmudic colloquia of a group of French Jewish intellectuals in Paris. In this collection, Levinas applies a hermeneutic that simultaneously allows the classic Jewish texts to shed light on contemporary problems and lets modern problems illuminate the texts. Besides being quintessential illustrations of the art of reading, the essays express the deeply ethical vision of the human condition that makes Levinas one of the most important thinkers of our time.
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.

Levinas verabschiedet das durch die Selbstherrlichkeit des Ich gepragte Seins-Denken zugunsten einer Ethik als neuer Erster Philosophie. Alles Denken, so seine Uberzeugung, das vom Ich oder Selbst ausgeht, bleibt im Grunde allein und schliesst den Anderen aus, ja vernichtet ihn in letzter Konsequenz. Doch der Andere ist immer schon da. er begegnet als "Antlitz': als Verbot "Du sollst mich nicht toten', als Gebot "Du sollst mich in meinem Sterben nicht allein lassen'. Diese Begegnung, als Schock erlebt, reisst das Ich aus dem Schlaf der Selbstgewissheit.

Emmanuel Levinas (1906-95) blir omtalt som en hovedskikkelse bak den såkalte "etiske vending" i samtidsfilosofien. For eksempel har pave Johannes Paul II kalt ham "omtankens filosof" med et særlig budskap til vår tid, mens sosiologen Zygmunt Bauman har funnet det filosofiske fundament for sin forskning hos ham. Når Levinas har vunnet gjenklang hos så mange, er det kanskje fordi han taler om avmakt, om det uanselige, om det som har lav status. Dagens drøm er at det store må bli større. Levinas taler tiden midt imot, for det lille og det lilles rett til å forbli lite. Denne boken presenterer Levinas med skrifter fra hans egen læretid, før tenkning hans fikk endelig form. Kanskje er det en fordel å begynne studiet av denne "vanskelige" tenkeren med de problemstillinger han selv sto overfor? Tekstene er hentet fra flere franske bøker og er oversatt og redigert av Asbjørn Aarnes (1923-2013), som også har kommentert og ledsaget dem med egne essays.

Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) was a leading philosopher and Talmudic commentator. He is widely considered to be the one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. Levinas's work bridges several major gaps in the evolution of Continental philosophy - between modern and postmodern, phenomenology and poststructuralism, ethics and ontology. He is credited with having spurred a revitalized interest in ethics-based philosophy throughout Europe and America. "Entre Nous" is a major collection of essays representing the culmination of Levinas's philosophy. The book gathers his most important work and reveals the development of his thought over nearly forty years of committed inquiry. Along with several trenchant interviews published here, these essays engage with issues of suffering, love, religion, culture, justice, human rights, and legal theory. Taken together they constitute a key to Levinas's ideas on the ethical dimensions of otherness.
Humanism of the Other

In Humanism of the Other, Emmanuel Levinas argues that it is not only possible but of the highest exigency to understand one's humanity through the humanity of others. Based in a new appreciation for ethics, and taking new distances from the phenomenology of Hegel, Heidegger, Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty, the idealism of Plato and Kant, and the skepticism of Nietzsche and Blanchot, Levinas rehabilitates humanism and restores its promises. He expresses disappointment with the revolutions that became bureaucracies and totalitarian governments, and the national liberation movements that eventually led to oppression and international wars. Defining the human as subject, ego, synthesis, identification, cognition, and mood all too easily lead to subjugation, persecution, and murder. Painfully aware of the long history of dehumanization which reached its apotheosis in Hitler and Nazism, Levinas does not underestimate the difficulty of reconciling oneself with another. The humanity of the human, Levinas argues, is not discoverable through mathematics, rational metaphysics or introspection. Rather, it is found in the recognition that the suffering and mortality of others are the obligations and morality of the self.
First published in 1935, On Escape represents Emmanuel Levinas's first attempt to break with the ontological obsession of the Western tradition. In it, Levinas not only affirms the necessity of an escape from being, but also gives a meaning and a direction to it. Beginning with an analysis of need not as lack or some external limit to a self-sufficient being, but as a positive relation to our being, Levinas moves through a series of brilliant phenomenological analyses of such phenomena as pleasure, shame, and nausea in order to show a fundamental insufficiency in the human condition. In his critical introduction and annotation, Jacques Rolland places On Escape in its historical and intellectual context, and also within the context of Levinas's entire oeuvre, explaining Levinas's complicated relation to Heidegger, and underscoring the way Levinas's analysis of "being riveted," of the need for escape, is a meditation on the body.
