Vladimir Jankelevitch left behind a remarkable oeuvre steeped as much in philosophy as in music. His writings on moral quandaries reflect a lifelong devotion to music and performance, and, as a counterpoint, he wrote on music aesthetics and on modernist composers such as Faure, Debussy, and Ravel. Music and the Ineffable brings together these two threads, the philosophical and the musical, as an extraordinary quintessence of his thought. Jankelevitch deals with classical issues in the philosophy of music, including metaphysics and ontology. These are a point of departure for a...

Philosopher Vladimir Jankelevitch has only recently begun to receive his due from the English-speaking world, thanks in part to discussions of his thought by Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, and Paul Ricoeur. His international readers have long valued his unique, interdisciplinary approach to philosophy s greatest questions and his highly readable writing style. Originally published in 1967, Le Pardon, or Forgiveness, is one of Jankelevitch s most influential works.

Appearing here in English for the first time, Vladimir Jankelevitch's Henri Bergson is one of the two great commentaries written on Henri Bergson.

A friend of Bergson's, Jankelevitch first published this book in 1931 and revised it in 1959 to treat Bergson's later works. This...

In seinem Heimatland Frankreich wird Vladimir Jankelevitch heute als einer der zentralen Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts angesehen. Lange Zeit galt der Nachfahre jüdisch-russischer Einwanderer jedoch als 'heimatloser Philosoph', der nicht gewillt war, um die Gunst der öffentlichen Meinung zu buhlen. Jankelevitch war ein Philosoph des Engagements, nichts hat nachhaltiger seine Themenwahl bestimmt als seine Jahre in der Resistance. Er hat über den Tod geschrieben, über die Liebe und die Lüge - am eindringlichsten aber über das Verzeihen. Der Holocaust war für Jankelevitch ein...
