Here one of philosophy of religion's most distinctive voices offers a sustained comparison. Focusing on questions surrounding otherness transcendence postmodernity and the nature of religious thought Merold Westphal draws readers into a dialogue between the two thinkers. Westphal's masterful command of both philosophies shows that each can learn from the other. <i>Levinas and Kierkegaard in Dialogue</i> is an insightful and accessible contribution to philosophical considerations of ethics and religion.</p>
