Dedicated to scholarly work on the innovations and implications of the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, Levinas Studies includes insightful and inspiring essays by well-known and newer Levinas scholars. One volume of original essays appears each year.This volume includes essays addressing Levinas's complex relation to religion, as marked variously by his proximity to Rosenzweig; his distance from Heidegger, Blanchot, and Agamben; his reaction to the Shoah; and his understanding of "the death of God." Also includes a little-known dialogue with Levinas from 1978.

Levinas Studies: An Annual Review is dedicated to scholarly work on the innovations and implications of the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, one of the twentieth century's most eminent philosophers and religious thinkers. This series strives to advance reflection on Levinas's thinking, in its pertinence for fields including philosophy, psychology, religious studies, theology, and the study of literature.Volume 8 specifically addresses the current debate among scholars regarding the relation between Levinas's talmudic writings and his philosophical work. By engaging Levinas on such questions concerning Judaism and philosophy, and the relationship between text and inspiration, these eight essays take those issues considerably further into the field. Specifically, the authors treat Levinas and his contemporary thinkers Lacan and Jankélévitch, his interest in the writing of Shakespeare and Léon Bloy, his philosophy of language and exegesis, and finally, Levinasian meditations on Hebrew texts of Scripture.
