Michel Leiris : writing the self by
Seán Hand(
)
21 editions published between 2002 and 2009 in English and held by 2,021 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
He goes on to argue that Leiris's multi-volume autobiography La Regle du jeu stands as the model form of self-enquiry in the twentieth century. More broadly, Hand explores Leiris's continuing obsession with the notion of 'presence'. Informed by recent critical theories, Hand offers a multi-disciplinary approach to this intriguing writer."--Jacket

Post-Holocaust France and the Jews, 1945-1955 by
Steven T Katz(
)
10 editions published between 2015 and 2016 in English and held by 979 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Despite an outpouring of scholarship on the Holocaust, little work has focused on what happened to Europe's Jewish communities after the war ended. And unlike many other European nations in which the majority of the Jewish population perished, France had a significant post war Jewish community that numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Post-Holocaust France and the Jews, 1945-1955 offers new insight on key aspects of French Jewish life in the decades following the end of World War II. How Jews had been treated during the war continued to influence both Jewish and non-Jewish society in the post-war years. The volume examines the ways in which moral and political issues of responsibility combined with the urgent problems and practicalities of restoration, and it illustrates how national imperatives, international dynamics, and a changed self-perception all profoundly helped to shape the fortunes of postwar French Judaism. Comprehensive and informed, this volume offers a rich variety of perspectives on Jewish studies, modern and contemporary history, literary and cultural analysis, philosophy, sociology, and theology. With contributions from leading scholars, including Edward Kaplan, Susan Rubin Suleiman, and Jay Winter, the book establishes multiple connections between such different areas of concern as the running of orphanages, the establishment of new social and political organisations, the restoration of teaching and religious facilities, and the development of intellectual responses to the Holocaust."--Publisher's description

The Levinas reader by
Emmanuel Lévinas(
Book
)
37 editions published between 1989 and 2009 in English and Spanish and held by 649 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Emmanuel Levinas has been Professor of Philosophy at the Sorbonne and the director of the Ecole Normale Israelite Orientale. Through such works as "Totality and Infinity" and "Otherwise than Being", he has exerted a profound influence on twentieth-century continental philosophy, providing inspiration for Derrida, Lyotard, Blanchot and Irigaray. "The Levinas Reader" collects, often for the first time in English, essays by Levinas encompassing every aspect of his thought: the early phenomenological studies written under the guidance and inspiration of Husserl and Heidegger; the fully developed ethical critique of such totalizing philosophies; the pioneering texts on the moral dimension to aesthetics; the rich and subtle readings of the Talmud which are an exemplary model of an ethical, transcendental philosophy at work; the admirable meditations on current political issues. Sean Hand's introduction gives a complete overview of Levinas's work and situates each chapter within his general contribution to phenomenology, aesthetics, religion, politics and, above all, ethics. Each essay has been prefaced with a brief introduction presenting the basic issues and the necessary background, and suggesting ways to study the text further. -- Back cover

Difficult freedom : essays on Judaism by
Emmanuel Lev́inas(
Book
)
9 editions published between 1990 and 1997 in English and Undetermined and held by 338 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Jean Paul Sartre hailed him as the philosopher who introduced France to Husserl and Heidegger. Derrida has paid him homage as "master." An original philosopher who combines the insights of phenomenological analysis with those of Jewish spirituality, Emmanuel Levinas has proven to be of extraordinary importance in the history of modern thought. Collecting Levinas's important writings on religion, Difficult Freedom contributes to a growing debate about the significance of religion{u2014}particularly Judaism and Jewish spiritualism{u2014}in European philosophy. Topics include ethics, aesthetics, politics, messianism, Judaism and women, and Jewish-Christian relations, as well as the work of Spinoza, Hegel, Heidegger, Franz Rosenzweig, Simone Weil, and Jules Issac

"Alter Ego is the first monograph in English on the critical writings of Michel Leiris (1901-90). A autobiographer and ethnographer, Leiris also produced criticism on art, opera, jazz and literature. His work offers commentary on twentieth-century intellectual movements and demonstrates the constant refashioning and reformulation of contemporary ideas and aesthetics. Hand defines and situates core themes, analyses Leiris's criticism in each art form, and proposes him as a model of post-modern critical identity."--Jacket

Nietzsche : the body and culture ; philosophy as a philological genealogy by
Eric Blondel(
)
2 editions published in 1991 in English and held by 14 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"First published in France in 1987, this book provides a definitive account of how to read and interpret Nietzsche, given that it is the work of Nietzsche himself that has so fundamentally changed our understanding of what 'reading' and 'interpreting' mean. The book's title points to the two central questions raised by Nietzsche: how culture is formed and how culture forms us; and the extent to which we are more body than spirit."--Bloomsbury Publishing
