{"product_id":"a-covenant-of-creatures-michael-fagenblat-9780804768702","title":"A Covenant of Creatures: Levinas's Philosophy of Judaism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"I am not a particularly Jewish thinker,\" said Emmanuel Levinas, \"I am just a thinker.\" This book argues against the idea, affirmed by Levinas himself, that \u003ci\u003eTotality and Infinity and Otherwise Than Being\u003c\/i\u003e separate philosophy from Judaism. By reading Levinas's philosophical works through the prism of Judaic texts and ideas, Michael Fagenblat argues that what Levinas called \"ethics\" is as much a hermeneutical product wrought from the Judaic heritage as a series of phenomenological observations. Decoding the Levinas's philosophy of Judaism within a Heideggerian and Pauline framework, Fagenblat uses biblical, rabbinic, and Maimonidean texts to provide sustained interpretations of the philosopher's work. Ultimately he calls for a reconsideration of the relation between tradition and philosophy, and of the meaning of faith after the death of epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Fagenblat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804768706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804768702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011","brand":"Michael Fagenblat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926229287167,"sku":"9780804768702","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3a5dec88-2ccc-4fbb-8efc-e236e8830d0d.jpg?v=1681081916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-covenant-of-creatures-michael-fagenblat-9780804768702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
