“This trailblazing volume opens an ethical dimension of philosophical hermeneutics and offers a …. well argued, clear, and coherent… introduction to Dussel’s ‘philosophy of liberation.’ ” —Choice

The essence of Dussel's thought is presented through the concept of "ethical hermeneutics" which seeks to interpret reality from the viewpoint of what Emmanuel Levinas presents as the "other" - those who are vanquished, forgotten, or excluded from existent socio-political or cultural systems. Barber traces Dussel's development toward Levinas' philosophy through his discussion of the Hegelian dialectic and through the stages of Dussel's own ethical theory.
