Like Plato, Emmanuel Levinas believed that ethics was the most fundamental philosophical discipline. This title examines broader dimensions which are linked to the political realm, and the problems they pose for ethics. It demonstrates that both Plato and Levinas come to identify 3 realms as ambiguous: the erotic, the artistic, and the political.
