The author compares Levinas's thought with that of his contemporaries, most notably Jacques Derrida and Husserl.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Wyschogrod focuses upon the unique and innovative aspects of Levinas, [his] attempts to base metaphysics on ethics rather than the traditional subordination of ethical theories to preconceived metaphysics."-- "--The Modern Schoolman"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Edith Wyschogrod </strong>is J.
