Totalità e infinito. Saggio sull'esteriorità

Levinas's idea of ethics centered around our responsibility to others. I'm curious what personal or philosophical influences led to this focus.

Some passages felt dense, but the ideas about infinity and ethical responsibility are so compelling. How did others navigate the more abstract parts?

I wonder if this book is best read as a standalone or as part of his entire body of work. What connections stood out to others?
