Levinas Concordance

By Georges Hansel and Cristian Ciocan

The importance of Emmanuel Levinas's thinking is well established in contemporary philosophy. Especially after the publication of his mast- pieces Totalit et infini (1961) and Autrement qu' tre ou au-del de l'essence (1974), Levinas's philosophy has acquired a world-wide recognition, being largely considered as marking a distinct epoch in the development of Continental Philosophy. Levinas's works are now widely translated and the international cir- lation of his ideas makes him an avant-garde figure of contemporary phil- ophy. However, the spreading of Levinas's philosophy into diverse areas of present-day thinking surpasses the frontiers of the phenomenological mo- ment. The concrete impact of the Levinasian philosophy upon the various directions of thinking - from ontology and ethics to Jewish thought, theo- gy, aesthetics or feminism - attests moreover the great significance of this singular figure of our times. For more than three decades now his philosophy has come to be the subject of many doctoral theses, articles and books. The complete "Levinas bibliography" counts currently thousands of titles in more than ten l- guages. The important contribution that a Levinas Concordance would bring as a valuable instrument for exegetes, researchers, translators etc. is obvious in such a prolific scholarly field.
