XVIII 284 pp. <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition of this absolute masterpiece of 20th century philosophy and a towering achievement of philosophical ethics Levinas' main work in which he introduced the concepts "the face of the other" and "radical alterity".The French-Lithuanian philosopher Emmanuel Levinas was among the first French academic philosophers to come to Freiburg to study phenomenology with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger and subsequently introduced this philosophical methodology in France among others to Jean-Paul Sartre who would a few years later go to Germany to study phenomenology himself."Totalité et Infini" Levinas' first major work grew out of his experience of the Second World War which he survived as a prisoner of war in Germany. It revolves around the possibility of ethics in a world dominated by the will to power and the inescapable reality of war. The prominence which it rapidly attained through its enthusiastic reception by contemporaries such as Paul Ricoeur is tied to the originality and urgency of its reflection on the foundation of ethics - and the ethical foundation of philosophy itself. This is at the heart of Levinas' claim that ethics must be understood as the primary form of philosophy.The concepts which "Totalité et Infini" introduced into philosophy the face of the Other radical alterity now form part of the grammar of modern ethical reflection. In these years the work is also finding reception in aesthetics in part through the writings of Levinas' close friend Maurice Blanchot. </em> hardcover
