Dr Abi Doukhan 
Emmanuel Levinas [PDF ebook] 
A Philosophy of Exile

Support

Our era is profoundly marked by the phenomenon of exile and it is has become increasingly urgent to rethink the concept of exile and our stance towards it. This renewed reflection on the problem of exile brings to the fore a number of questions regarding the traditionally negative connotation of exile. Is there not another way to understand the condition of exile?
Permeated with references to the ”stranger”, the ”other” and ”exteriority”, the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas signifies a positive understanding of exile. This original and compelling book distills from Levinas”s philosophy a wisdom of exile, for the first time shedding a positive light on the condition of exile itself. Abi Doukhan argues that Levinas”s philosophy can be understood as a comprehensive philosophy of exile, from his ethics to his thoughts on society, love, knowledge, spirituality and art, thereby presenting a comprehensive view of the philosophy of Levinas himself as well as a renewed understanding of the wealth and contribution of exile to a given society.
