The relation between the Greek and Judeo-Christian traditions is "the                  great problem" of Western philosophy, according to Emmanuel Levinas. In this book                  Brian Schroeder, Silvia Benso, and an international group of philosophers address                  the relationship between Levinas and the world of ancient thought. In addition to                  philosophy, themes touching on religion, mythology, metaphysics, ontology,                  epistemology, ethics, and politics are also explored. The volume as a whole provides                  a unified and extended discussion of how an engagement between Levinas and thinkers                  from the ancient tradition works to enrich understandings of both. This book opens                  new pathways in ancient and modern philosophical studies as it illuminates new                  interpretations of Levinas' ethics and his social and political                  philosophy.
