Face to Face in Dialogue : Emmanuel Levinas and (the) Communication (of) Ethics

As the title indicates, Face to Face in Dialogue: Emmanuel Levinas and (the) Communication (of) Ethics is about a transformation. It is about a transformation from thinking about the ethics of communication to thinking about the communication of ethics. This work examines the implications of Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy of ethics for the theory, criticism and practice of human communication. In addition to offering a study of communication ethics from a Levinasian perspective, the book investigates the role of communication in the very announcement of ethical obligation and in the pursuit of social justice.
