Wittgenstein and Levinas : Ethical and Religious Thought

<em>Wittgenstein and Levinas</em> examines the oft-neglected relationship between the philosophies of two of the most important and notoriously difficult thinkers of the twentieth century. By bringing the work of each philosopher to bear upon the other, Plant navigates between the antagonistic intellectual traditions that they helped to share. The central focus on the book is the complex yet illuminating interplay between a number of ethical-religious themes in both Wittgensteins mature thinking and Levinass distinctive account of ethical responsibility.
