Sensibility and Singularity: The Problem of Phenomenology in Levinas (Suny Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy) - Softcover
Synopsis
Establishes the importance of Husserl's phenomenology for Levinas's ethics.
Is Emmanuel Levinas a dismissive critic of Husserlian phenomenology, or an important member of its movement? The standard account of Levinas’s work assumes his distance from Husserl. In opposition to this account, Sensibility and Singularity contends that Husserl was a vital, living resource for Levinas throughout his philosophical career. The singularity of the Other is the centerpiece of Levinas’s thought. The philosophical significance of this singularity, however, cannot be fully appreciated without attending to Levinas’s transformation of the Husserlian themes of time, materiality, intentionality, and sense. This book documents those transformations and establishes their centrality to Levinas’s notion of ethics. What emerges from this reading is a thorough account of Levinas’s constant and productive debate with the Husserlian tradition of phenomenology.
