It is the nature of performance that he mistakes. Appelbaum articulates this flaw by performing in writing the act of the philosophical mind at work. Incorporating the voices of other thinkers-in particular Levinas's contemporaries Jacques Derrida and Maurice Blanchot-sometimes clearly, sometimes indistinctly, Appelbaum creates on these pages a kind of soundstage upon which illustrations appear of what he terms \"a rhetorical aesthetic,\" which would reestablish rhetoric, rules for giving voice-and not ethics-as the correct matrix for understanding the otherness and beyond-being that Levinas seeks in his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Appelbaum \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York at New Paltz.
