The book’s title, as well as some of Coe’s remarks in her introduction, may give the impression that it should be a read as a monograph devoted to explicating the role of time in Levinas’s philosophy, particularly in relation to his understanding of responsibility. However, it is better approached, I found, as a collection of essays — ones that tend to focus on time, trauma, and responsibility, but range over many topics, such as Levinas’s concerns about Hegel’s philosophy of history (Chapter 4), embodiment (Chapter 6), maternity (Chapter 7), and animality (Chapter 8), to name only a few. Overall, the book reads less like a comprehensive study of Levinas’s ideas about time, or their relation to trauma and responsibility, and more like a series of thoughtful, well-researched, and well-argued essays by a very gifted Levinas scholar.
