Overview

“Includes the most significant biographical documentation of [Levinas] yet to appear in English, with much new information on his Jewish upbringing and influences. More substantially, [the collection of interviews] record, better than any of his other writings, how Levinas conceived of the relation between ethics and politics.”—The Jerusalem Report
