The year 2006 marks the first centenary of Emmanuel Levinas's birth. On this occasion an international conference entitled "A century with Emmanuel Levinas: Resonances of a Philosophy" will take place at the University of Jerusalem. The conference will bring together speakers to deal with Levinas' thought from various perspectives: history of philosophy, phenomenology, ethics and politics, literary and art criticism, Jewish and Christian philosophy, hermeneutics of the Bible and Talmud. The aim is to embrace most aspects of Levinas philosophy as well as their applications to contemporary thought. A special emphasis will be laid on the Jewish inspiration and its relationship with other monotheisms.
