Bøker av R. Clifton (Associate Professor Spargo

In this original and magisterial study, Spargo uses Levinas's work to approach our understanding of the suffering and death of others, and in doing so reintroduces an essential ethical element to the reading of literature, culture, and everyday life.

He argues for the particular capacity of literature to undertake an imaginative risk on behalf of another that seems the very ground of ethics itself.
