- 1.The bibliography on this topic is in itself very large. I shall therefore limit myself to a single reference which analyses Levinas’ approach to Time from a genuine phenomenological angle, and thus can be of special interest for the present reader: François David Sebbah: L’épreuve de la limite; Derrida, Henry, Levinas et la phénoménologie (Paris: Collège International de Philosophie, PUF, 2001), particularly pp. 93–108; 260–269.Google Scholar
