At times, Levinas is a teller of powerful tales about ethics; at other times, on ethical grounds, he disavows storytelling altogether. \u003ci\u003eLevinas, Storytelling and Anti-Storytelling\u003c\/i\u003e explores the tensions between philosophy and storytelling that run throughout Levinas's work. By asking about how Levinas tells and untells his stories, and by risking the telling of tales that Levinas himself does not dare to tell, this book opens up new ways of thinking about Levinas's ethics of responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt may be, as Levinas often insists, that storytelling presents us with ethical dangers; but \u003ci\u003eLevinas, Storytelling and Anti-Storytelling\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case that an ethics of responsibility may demand that, whilst mindful of these dangers, we nevertheless continually seek out new stories to tell about ourselves, about others and about the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Buckingham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472581598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472581594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Will Buckingham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065818837247,"sku":"9781472581594","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44ce9b90-422d-480b-81c1-dd452d106874.jpg?v=1685403681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/levinas-storytelling-and-anti-storytelling-will-buckingham-9781472581594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
