This book explores the relation between Heidegger Levinas and Derrida by means of a dialogue
with experts on the work of these mutually influential thinkers. Each essay in this collection
focuses on the relation between at least two of these three philosophers focusing on various
themes such as Alterity Justice Truth and Language. By contextualising these thinkers and
tracing their mutually shared themes the book establishes the question of difference and its
ongoing radicalization as the problem to which phenomenology must respond. Heidegger¿s
influence on Derrida and Levinas was quite substantial. Derrida once claimed that his work
¿would not have been possible without the opening of Heidegger¿s questions.¿ Equally as peers
Derrida and Levinas commented on and critiqued each other¿s work. By examining the differences
between these thinkers on a variety of themes this book represents a philosophically enriching
project and essential reading for understanding the respective projects of each of these
philosophers.
