Vivem o sonho americano, alicerçado na segurança e na liberdade que Israel nunca lhes conseguiu oferecer. Porém, essa sensação de segurança vai dando lugar à suspeita e ao terror quando um colega de liceu de Adam aparece morto numa festa em circunstâncias pouco claras. Um acontecimento que abala toda a comunidade e sobretudo Lilakh, para quem o seu filho, acusado de ódio racial e alvo de uma investigação policial, se tornou um desconhecido. Exímia em avolumar densidade emocional e psicológica num enredo de suspense, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen regressa com um romance repleto de tensão construído à volta do medo — o medo do futuro e do outro, mas também daqueles que nos são mais próximos e que se podem tornar num estranho, num lobo à espreita. «Ayelet Gundar-Goshen desce habilmente aos abismos emocionais.» The New York Times «[Ayelet Gundar-Goshen] recorre ao thriller para desenvolver temáticas políticas e morais de relevo, segredos, mentiras e raça… Estamos perante um novo género literário: o noir israelita.» The Sunday Times «Uma das vozes mais importantes da literatura israelita contemporânea.» Zeit Online
One: Rethinking Ethics, Empathy, and Transcendence from Husserl to Derrida (SUNY series in Theology and Continental Thought)
by Michael F. AndrewsOne (Un)Like the Other responds to the question, "What are the conditions of possibility that make genuine knowledge of other persons—and, therefore, love—possible?" By providing an original interpretive framework for exploring ethics in relation to empathy and transcendence from multiple perspectives in continental philosophy, empathy is described as a trace of what remains essentially and irreducibly "other" in every act of givenness. The use of the phenomenological method places "Einfühlung theory" in its rich historical context, beginning with Husserl and the early phenomenologists and extending to contemporary issues that explore "otherness" in light of consciousness, gender, embodiment, community, intentionality, emotions, intersubjectivity, values, language, and apophatic discourse. The implications of recasting "empathy" in an interpretive and dialogical model of reciprocity envision new paradigms of understanding ethics as an infinite playing field. No longer subservient to metaphysics and ontology, empathy is described as an act of infinite concern, a "hermeneutics of suspicion" that transcends epistemological theory and ethical command. Drawing on Husserl, Scheler, Stein, Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, and others, this study presents an examination and expansion of empathy as an encounter with otherness in its most radical and transcendent forms.
