What is Emmanuel Levinas and the Politics of Non-Violence about?

<p>French philosopher and Talmudic commentator Emmanuel Levinas (1906&ndash;1995) has received considerable attention for his influence on philosophical and religious thought. In this book, Victoria Tahmasebi-Birgani provides the first examination of the applicability of Emmanuel Levinas&rsquo; work to social and political movements. Investigating his ethics of responsibility and his critique of the Western liberal imagination, Tahmasebi-Birgani advances the moral, political, and philosophical debates on the radical implications of Levinas&rsquo; work.</p><p><em>Emmanuel Levinas and the Politics of Non-Violence</em> is the first book to closely consider the affinity between Levinas&rsquo; ethical vision and Mohandas Gandhi&rsquo;s radical yet non-violent political struggle. Situating Levinas&rsquo; insights within a transnational, transcontinental, and global framework, Tahmasebi-Birgani highlights Levinas&rsquo; continued relevance in an age in which violence is so often resorted to in the name of &ldquo;justice&rdquo; and &ldquo;freedom.&rdquo;</p>
