The Provocation of Levinas 
Rethinking the Other

There is a growing recognition of Levinas”s importance. It can in part be attributed to an increasing concern that twentieth-century continental philosophy seems to have no place for ethics. In making ethics fundamental to philosophy, rather than a problem to which we might one day return, Levinas transforms continental thought. The book brings together some of the most interesting and far-reaching responses to the work of Levinas, in three different areas: contemporary feminism, psychotherapy, and Levinas”s relation to other philosophers. It includes a newly translated paper by Levinas on suffering, and a specially commissioned interview.
