The Good of Recognition - Phenomenology, Ethics, and Religion in the Thought of Levinas and Ricoeur

Analyses the polysemy of recognition operative in the thought of two contemporary French thinkers, Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-1995) and Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005). Michael Sohn shows that recognition appears prominently throughout the works of Lévinas and Ricoeur, which exist at the intersection of phenomenology, ethics, politics, and religion.
