The first part of this book, “Exceeding Phenomenology”, comprising chapters one through four, aimed to show certain defining points of convergence and divergence between Levinas's ethical metaphysics and the epistemological and ontological philosophies of Bergson, Husserl, and Heidegger primarily (but also Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Derrida, to name some others). Its second part, “Good and Evil”, which comprises the rest of the book, is less comparative and critical than expository and positive. The previous chapter, chapter 5, began this process. It briefly reviewed the most general “themes” of Levinas's philosophy and did so by at the same time revealing the complementary relationship binding Levinas's two major works, Totality and Infinity and Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence.
