In it, Levinas not only affirms the necessity of an escape from being, but also gives a meaning and a direction to it. Beginning with an analysis of need not as lack or some external limit to a self-sufficient being, but as a positive relation to our being, Levinas moves through a series of brilliant phenomenological analyses of such phenomena as pleasure, shame, and nausea in order to show a fundamental insufficiency in the human condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif rgb font-size:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003eIn his critical introduction and annotation, Jacques Rolland places \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic !important; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003eOn Escape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003e in its historical and intellectual context, and also within the context of Levinas's entire oeuvre, explaining Levinas's complicated relation to Heidegger, and underscoring the way Levinas's analysis of \"being riveted,\" of the need for escape, is a meditation on the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 22px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif rgb font-size:=\"\" background-color:=\"\" padding:=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 22px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif rgb font-size:=\"\" background-color:=\"\" padding:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 6px 10px !important; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic !important; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003eOn Escape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: \" palatino linotype antiqua serif font-size:\u003e is an extremely important early text by someone considered by many to be the most important ethical thinker of the twentieth century.
