This seminar is part of CIDRAL's Theory Intensives series.
Professor Alex Samely (Middle Eastern Studies, University of Manchester) will lead a seminar on the work of Emmanuel Levinas.
The session explores the link which Levinas draws between encountering the Other (Face) and knowing/not-knowing, the constitution of self-consciousness, temporality and ethics.
Readings for the session, in order of priority are:
1. E. Levinas, Time and the Other, trans. R. A. Cohen (Pittsburgh: Duquesne UP, 1987), pp. 39-94
2. E. Levinas, Totality and Infinity, trans. A. Lingis (Pittsburgh, Duquesne UP, 1969), pp. 202-226
