The thought of Emmanuel Levinas is of increasing importance for those working in the diverse fields of phenomenology and continental philosophy French studies Jewish studies ethics politics and religious studies. In this book Nigel Zimmermann gives proper attention to the 'incarnate' aspect of the `other' in Levinas' work providing a theological reading that explores the basic strands of Levinas' thinking regarding the concrete nature of human living. Human communities in which politics inevitably plays a crucial role may learn much from the theological shape of Levinas' philosophy. In all his writings Levinas cannot be understood apart from his roles as a Talmudic commentator and as a radical thinker who suffered personally under the shadow of the Holocaust.
