Ian Alexander Moore is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University and a faculty member at St. John's College. He is the author of Dialogue on the Threshold: Heidegger and Trakl (SUNY Press, 2022) and Eckhart, Heidegger, and the Imperative of Releasement (SUNY Press, 2019/2020); editor of Reiner Schürmann's Neo-Aristotelianism and the Medieval Renaissance (Diaphanes, 2020); coeditor of Jean Wahl's Transcendence and the Concrete (Fordham University Press, 2017); and translator of texts by Heidegger, Gadamer, Levinas, Nancy, and Hamacher, among others.

"Emmanuel Levinas likened the thought of Jean Wahl to 'a child's question coming from the lips of the wisest of philosophers,' with the potential to disrupt and reorient thanks to its unexpected combination of innocence and intelligence. One of the most interesting and original thinkers of his time, Wahl helped invent existentialism and exerted influence on a host of canonical French philosophers of the twentieth century. Thanks to the marvelous editorial work of Ian Moore and Alan Schrift, this collection of Wahl's writings recovers him for a new generation of readers." -- -Samuel Moyn Harvard University, author of Origins of the Other: Emmanuel Levinas between Revelation and Ethics
