Book, Four Talmudic Readings[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. To the deep knowledge of the phenomenological method, Levinas combines the Jewish hermeneutical tradition - expressed markedly in the texts of the Talmud, in an original symbiosis, in which the prevalence of ethics as 'first philosophy' constitutes an alternative - to the Western model of philosophical thinking, notably ontological. Thinker of an irreducible otherness, the author proposes an ethics of responsibility before freedom, of the other before the self. Under this approach, the 'Four Talmudic Readings', by Emmanuel Levinas that Editora Perspectiva launches in the Elos collection, meditate, in their speculative inquiry, on the problem of forgiveness, revelation, the conquest of a country and the relationship between justice and private morality. It is, therefore, a work of great interest to all who make philosophy their passion and ethics a life project.
