Cfp: "Celebrating TOTALITY AND INFINITY at 50," North American Levinas Society, Sixth Annual Conference and Meeting, Texas A & M University, May 1-3, 2011.

“Everyone will readily agree that it is of the highest importance to know whether we are not duped by morality.” Levinas, Preface to Totality and Infinity.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Totality and Infinity, the North American Levinas Society invites submissions of individual paper and panel proposals for our sixth annual meeting and conference, hosted by Texas A&M University, to be held May 1-3, 2011. We are especially interested in organizing the conference around considerations of Totality and Infinity with regard to both its historical framework and relevant contemporary readings and questions that the work continues to engender. Although preference will be given to papers that address the conference theme, papers and panels on any topic related to Levinas will be considered.
