Among his lesser known works is a short but remarkable essay published in 1934, \"Refections on the Philosophy of Hitlerism,\" in which he considers German conservatism and the Nazi movement, and reflects on Western philosophy's capacity to insure itself against 'elemental evil.' \u003ci\u003eDifficult Justice\u003c\/i\u003e uses this essay as an introduction to a collection of papers on Levinas's ethical and political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume editors Asher and Gad Horowitz bring together contributors from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds to explore how Levinas's work relates to a broad range of contemporary philosophical and political questions. In particular, they examine Levinas's challenge to liberalism 'to find another kinship for man... absolutely opposed to oppression, ' and his movement beyond liberalism to embrace 'the claim of the Other.' This thought-provoking collection will not only be invaluable to Levinas scholars, it will also be of interest to those working in the areas of Jewish studies, women's studies, and political theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeith Anderson\u003cbr\u003eShannon Bell\u003cbr\u003eRobert Bernasconi\u003cbr\u003eMielle Chandler\u003cbr\u003eTina Chanter\u003cbr\u003eMarinos Diamantides\u003cbr\u003eRosalyn Diprose\u003cbr\u003eEnrique Dussel\u003cbr\u003eOona Eisenstadt\u003cbr\u003eRobert Gibbs\u003cbr\u003eAsher Horowitz\u003cbr\u003eGad Horowitz\u003cbr\u003eZe'ev Levy\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Rosen\u003cbr\u003eBrian Schroeder\u003cbr\u003eVictoria Tahmasebi\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asher Horowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080208009X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802080097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.26w x 1.19d","brand":"Asher Horowitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48748283953407,"sku":"9780802080097","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/difficult-justice-asher-horowitz-9780802080097","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
