Linyu Gu & Nicholas Bunnin 
Lévinas 
Chinese and Western Perspectives, Volume 35

Leading Chinese and Western philosophers work alongside one another
to explore the writings of one of the twentieth century’s
most perplexing and original ethical and metaphysical thinkers.

* Comparative discussion of Lévinas on phenomenology,
ethics, metaphysics and political philosophy within European
philosophy and with Chinese philosophy

* Innovative accounts of Lévinasian themes of surpassing
phenomenology, post-Heideggerian philosophy, the philosophy of
saintliness, transcendence and immanence, time and sensibility,
desire, death, political philosophy, the subject, and the space of
communicativity
