Otherwise Than Being Or Beyond Essence

Otherwise Than Being Or Beyond Essence
Emmanuel Levinas
1999. cyrillic, paper back, p. 292, 21 cm

Beside his great work ”Totality and Infinity”, what we have in front of us is a second masterpiece of one of the greatest French philosopher, E. Levinas. A special philosophical investigation of the transcendent essence and the possibility of its utterance or expression, lead author to the concepts such as subjectivity, responsibility for the Other, sensibility, infinity, and alike. In this way, Levinas actually restores the ethics and a special kind of ”extreme humanism”, a ”humanism of the Other”, offering in same time a radical critique of western metaphysics and modern ontology.
