old article now available online

I’ve received several requests over the years for my article “Aesthetics as First Philosophy: Levinas and the Non-Human.” It was published in 2007 in Naked Punch, a London cultural magazine to which few academic libraries subscribe.

Thanks to the kind permission of the Naked Punch editors, I am now able to post the article online, HERE

My philosophical opinion of Levinas is extremely high. Others took more credit for French innovations beyond Heidegger, but Levinas may eventually come to look like he’s at the top of that list. Things simply took a turn that made him look old-fashioned too quickly, and too unjustifiably.
