Rozemund Uljée is Assistant Professor at the Institute for Philosophy at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

"The notoriously difficult primary texts under consideration in Uljée's study become manageable in this methodical, careful, and engaging work." — CHOICE"Uljée develops an original and little-studied point of the Heidegger-Levinas encounter. By giving a first-rate reading and interpretation of the problem of the presence of Being, she shows how, for Levinas, this leads to a break with the thinking of Being and prepares for the problem of the truth of justice and the solicitation of the face of the other person in history—and how, for Levinas, this break is already implied in Heidegger. This is a book of immediate importance for scholars on Heidegger and Levinas." — Emilia Angelova, Concordia University
