Important contribution to understanding a difficult thinker
6. Dezember 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
The previous reviewer seems to misunderstand this book and the series to which it belongs. The series provides classic texts with commentaries by scholars who are expert in the field. Adriaan Peperzak is certainly one of the best Levinas scholars around, and this book gives us a good introduction to, and superb commentary on, Levinas' essay, "Philosophy and the Idea of Infinity".
Having said that, it is certainly true that this book is not the place to start if you are approaching Levinas for the first time. In that case, the best place to start is the collection of Philippe Nemo's interviews with Levinas, gathered under the title "Ethics and Infinity." This is quite accessible to the educated reader. This might then be followed up with Colin Davis' genuinely introductory book on Levinas.
After some such background, then the reader should be ready to take up Peperzak's commentary here. At this stage it is very good to have a guide like Peperzak to lead you through the difficult nuances and reference points of so complex a thinker as Levinas. "Philosophy and the Idea of Infinity" is a kind of summary of Levinas' philosophy, but it is not easy going. Peperzak helps you see what you would have missed on your own.
I highly recommend this book, as well as the series as a whole. Levinas is a difficult, but very rewarding thinker--one of those who has the power to change your whole outlook on life.

Extremely useful, but extremely hard to get through
27. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is of great importance to me - Peperzak addresses many nuances in Levinas' thought I wouldn't find myself. However there is a catch: the language used by Peperzak is quite difficult to understand and get through. I don't mean the depth of thought, metaphorical language or anything like that. It's just Peperzak's English which is quite crude and rough. I highly doubt this book had a good proof reading it really deserves. Maybe it's just me, since I'm not English native speaker, but if you're feeling you English skills are not good, you may be disappointed after buying this book.
P.S. My critique refers mainly to chapter "A Key to Totality and Infinity".
