Publisher's Synopsis
This small but important volume contains three of Emmanuel Levinas's last major lectures on the Talmud, originally presented in 1974, 1988 and 1989. These three readings continue and augment much of Levinas's thought as presented in the earlier works: Nine Talmudic Readings In the Time of the Nations and Beyond Verse. Originally compiled and published in French in early 1996, New Talmudic Readings includes the lectures, The Will of Heaven and the Power of Men, Beyond the State in the State, and Who is Oneself?
