Description: I am Here, Abraham Said by Nigel Rapport Emmanuel Levinass philosophical work on the Other offers a challenge to the discipline of anthropology that claims knowledge of the human. For Levinas, the secrecy of subjectivity – a fundamental facet of the human condition – demands an ethics of ignorance and not-knowing; the mystery of otherness is only to be approached through inspiration. Can anthropology meet a Levinasian challenge if it would define itself as a science as well as a humanistic documentation of social life? This book endeavours to take Levinasian and anthropological precepts equally seriously and offers a radical conclusion.
