European and US scholars, mostly of philosophy, present nine essays on the thought of Lithuanian-born French philosopher and Talmudic scholar Emmanuel Levinas (1906-95). One of them is a translation of a March 1978 interview with him on French television. Others consider such topics as reflections on the metaphysical God and his demise: Heidegger and Levinas in dialogue, revisiting the debate on his supposed anti-naturalistic humanism, and the novelty of religion and the religiosity of substitution in Levinas and Agamben.
