RLST 139 PO - Benjamin, Blanchot, Levinas, Derrida: Contemporary Continental Jewish Philosophy

These philosophers all object to the totalizing nature of the philosophy of history, which, as they see it, has dominated modern thought. We examine the way they critique or replace it with a philosophy of language-translation, dialogue, writing in which theorizing arises from the relation of same and other. PRT, CWS.
