Description
R. Clifton Spargo Vigilant Memory: Emmanuel Levinas, the Holocaust, and the Unjust Death. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press 2006. Pp. 328. US$60.00 (cloth 978-0-8018-8311-8). This book has already had significant critical reception and is fast becoming one of the most respected new studies of Emmanuel Levinas. Claire Katz, writing in Shofar earlier this year, calls Spargo's book, 'perhaps the most erudite reading of Levinas I have encountered to date,' and Michael Bernard-Donals in 'Ethics after Auschwitz' from Contemporary Literature claims 'Vigilant Memory is one of the very best books on Levinas--let alone on the ethical consequences of the Holocaust--that I've read in the last five years, if not the single best, and it's one that I will undoubtedly return to time and again.' These endorsements have come especially in response to Spargo's abilities to re-imagine the Holocaust in Levinas, expand the connections between politics and ethics in light of the obligating status of injustice, and read Levinas against Levinas in terms of the true scope of his ethics of responsibility.
