{"product_id":"9780253073273","title":"State of Others : Levinas and Decolonial Israel (New Jewish Philosophy and Thought)","description":"\u003cp\u003eState of Others: Levinas and Decolonial Israel explores the relations between post-Holocaust Jewish thought and postcolonial thought through the work of Emmanuel Levinas. In the last decade, thinkers have criticized Levinas for his Eurocentrism; however, author Elad Lapidot argues that Levinas anticipated this critique and, from the 1960s onward, began setting the foundations for decolonial Jewish thought - and for decolonial Zionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eState of Others offers an innovative analysis of Levinas's intellectual project as articulated around a turn in the year 1968. This turn relates to the relationship between Judaism and Western civilization. Prior to 1968, Levinas considered the historical Jewish collective, Israel, as the avant-garde of Western humanism. After 1968, with the rise of decolonial discourse, Levinas's concept of Israel shifts roles and becomes the paradigmatic victim of Western imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eState of Others demonstrates how Levinas simultaneously developed his dual narratives - before and after the pivotal year of 1968 - across his philosophical and Jewish writings, with a special emphasis on the Talmudic Readings. It presents for the first time a cohesive overview of Levinas's writings, both early and late, as interconnected components of a singular intellectual endeavor. The ethical principles concerning the other, as articulated by Levinas, are conceptually linked to his reflections on the State of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52258479898935,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":325.08,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780253073273-1.jpg?v=1783100781","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780253073273","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
