Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-12 00:00:00 Peter Pis Selain 'Enigma Wajah Orang Lain' karangan Thomas Hidya Tjahya, saya pikir, buku karangan Atterton ini merupakan pengantar yang bagus untuk mengenali pemikiran Levinas (untuk mengenali pemikiran Levinas lebih detail, dapat dilanjutkan dengan membaca 'Discovering Levinas' karangan Michael L. Morgan). 'On Levinas' mengulas dua karya utama Levinas (menurut saya, sebenarnya ada tiga karya utama Levinas, (i) Existence and Existents, (ii) Totality and Infinity dan (iii) Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence) yaitu 'Totality and Infinity' dan 'Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence'. Atterton memberikan pemahaman atas konsep-konsep kunci dalam kedua buku tersebut. Untuk mengenalkan pembaca pada 'Totality and Infinity', Atterton mengulas empat hal pokok yang perlu diperhatikan untuk memahami karya tersebut. Hal-hal itu adalah kritik terhadap ontologi, separasi, wajah dan eros. Adapun untuk mengenalkan pembaca pada 'Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence', Atterton mengulas the Saying and the Said, tanggungjawab, substitusi, terakhir keadilan dan yang-politis.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-09 00:00:00 Thomas P Malone Well certainly those racial chapters weren't from Nietzsche, but from his antisemitic sister... Really sometimes is really hard to understand where is Nietzsche and he isn't, for example there is so much emphasis on the eternal recurence and to the aristocratic class priority, and strangely enough in some parts it is talked about this strange leader, who seems pretty much as a dictator to me. Sure it wasn't Nietzsche doing on those ones... but rather when in the book it speaks about the noble man, the artist, about decadence, about the lonely person and yeah off course The Will to Power. I think we can find the old Nietzsche perspective on those themes.
