Annotation

Shanks focuses here on Gillian Rose's critique of Weil and Levinas in her work, "Angry Angels: Simone Weil and Emmanuel Levinas" found in her book Judaism and Modernity. Shanks exposits Rose's critique at great length as well as noting further applications of it. He is particularly interested in how, what he calls the concept of 'universal neighbourliness', is expressed in Levinas and Weil and Rose's critique of them.
