Philippe Nemo

A quick and dirty intro to various Levinasian concepts extolled by the man himself. I very much enjoy Levinas' penchant for non-thematizable sections of our existence. I'm still not sure how to feel about him as a literary figure. When libraries open again, I'll make sure to check out one of his more substantial works. Existence and Existants seems the most interesting to me right now. If I ever end up reading more of the Bible, I'll definitely try and get my hands on one of his commentaries. He's definitely someone I'd trust with a task like that.… (mais)

> Ces dix entretiens avec Philippe Nemo constituent une présentation fidèle de la pensée de Lévinas, le philosophe de l’éthique, qui est sans doute le seul moraliste de la pensée contemporaine.

As the first part of a two volume survey of political thought, Nemo (ESCP Europe) approaches the field of study in a manner different from many American texts. Appealing to readers with “little prior knowledge” (viii) of political thought, the author provides a lucid, engaging introductory volume that will enlighten both the novice and the specialist. The use of “historical context” (ix), combined with exceedingly accurate interpretations of primary texts, and the absence of ideological frameworks, contributes to the high overall quality of the book. The work is divided into three long sections: Part One, Ancient Greece; Part Two, Rome; and Part Three, the Christian West. In the introduction to Part Three a survey to the “political ideas” of the Bible is provided, including an accessible overview of Hebrew political thought. Important, yet often neglected figures in Christian political thought, including Tertullian, Origen, and many other thinkers, are analyzed succinctly, yet thoughtfully. This valuable and readable book deserves a wide readership.… (mais)
