summary
Can we truly claim that Metaphysics is over? Through a close reading of Levinas’s masterpiece Totality and Infinity and a careful elaboration of Levinas’s concept of the “nocturnal event” that surpasses the light of understanding, Raoul Moati opens the possibility of a revival of metaphysics after the “end of metaphysics”.
