"This work is hugely important and compelling and will make a significant contribution to the literature in many fields." — Cynthia Halpern, Swarthmore College

"Anyone who thought Friedrich Nietzsche and Emmanuel Levinas were extremes between whom no real dialogue could be established will find Nietzsche and Levinas a revelation. The many different perspectives in this book should help reorient thinking on ethics for the twenty-first century." — Robert Bernasconi, Penn State University
