Levinas for Psychologists (Psychology and the Other)

Levinas for Psychologists - A Comprehensive Examination of Emmanuel Levinas's Philosophy and its Implications for Psychology and the Human and Social Sciences.

This book provides a rigorous, yet accessible, examination of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy and its implications for psychology and the human and social sciences.

It traces Levinas's thought across the arc of his oeuvre, from the earliest works to the last interviews and essays, and offers promising alternatives to current clinical and psychotherapeutic work, psychological theory, social science research, and social theory.

The book makes Levinas's dense and demanding philosophical language comprehensible and accessible, without losing the radical, profound, and poetic qualities of the original.

It addresses issues of justice, racism, and nature throughout and places these insights and conclusions within a contemporary context.

This book is essential reading for psychologists, philosophers, and anyone interested in the legacy of Levinas's work.
