The book presents the teachings of the French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas (1906–1995). The
world of his oeuvres is introduced through the analysis of his peculiar language, cautioning against
straightforward understanding and encouraging creative reading of his texts. The monograph
studies the main notions (“key words”) and themes of Levinas’s philosophy, his relation to classical
philosophy and the teachings of M. Heidegger, E. Husserl; compares his conceptions to those of
L. Wittgenstein, H. Cohen, K.-O. Apel. The author tries to examine the prospects opened by the
work of the French thinker before the professional philosopher of the early 21st century
