Half-title + TP + 1 leaf + 9 - 189 + 1 leaf = Imprimé, Octavo. SIGNED First Edition. Levinas delivered these commentaries at the annual Talmudic colloquia of a group of French Jewish intellectuals in Paris. Here Levinas applies a hermeneutic that simultaneously allows the classic Jewish texts to shed light on contemporary problems and lets modern problems illuminate the texts. Besides being quintessential illustrations of the art of reading, the essays express the deeply ethical vision of the human condition that makes Levinas one of the most important thinkers of our time. CONDITION: Clean internally. Remnants of a stain to the last blank leaf and flap of rear cover, not affecting text. Spotting to covers, especially spine the rear edge. Else very good.
