Exile and Otherness: The Ethics of Shinran and Maimonides (Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion)

Following Levinas' articulation that "truth is accessible only to the mind capable of experiencing an exile away from its preconceptions and prejudices," Exile and Otherness posits that Shinran, the founder True Pure Land Buddhism, and Maimonides, a Jewish philosopher and Torah scholar, exhibit sensitivity to the neglected and suffering others.
