TODD, Sharon. Learning from the Other. Levinas, Psychoanalysis, and Ethical Possibilities in Education. Albany: State University of fresh York Press, 2003. 178pp. $4950 (h) $1695 (p)

Learning from the Other readys a philosophical investigation into the ethical possibilities of education, especially social justice education. In this treatment, Sharon Todd rethinks the ethical basis of responsibility as emerging without of the everyday and network ways we engage difference within educational settings. She works between the sides of the implications of the productive tension between the pondering of Emmanuel Levinas and that of Sigmund Freud Melanie Klein, Judith Butler Cornelius Castoriadis, and others. Challenging the idea that knowledge about the other is the answer to questions of responsibility, she purposes that responsibility is rooted instead in a learning from the other. The author focuses forward empathy, love, guilt, and listening to highlight the complicate nature of learning from difference and to probe where the conditions for ethical possibility might lie.
