Review”Chalier’s reflectivity on a possible dialog amid these figures in illuminating for moral doctrine in general, and for an understanding of Levinasian ethics in particular.”-Brigitt Sassen, McMaster University, Philosophy in Review, 2003

“Chalier’s accounts of Levinas’s views draw on extensive cognition of his works as a whole and are often stimulating in scope and detail. . . . If you have wondered whether Levinas is a Kantian, you will find Chalier’s welleducated book helpful for reflectiveness on the question.”-Deborah Achtenberg, University of Nevada Reno, Review of Metaphysics

” Whereas most introductions to Levinas’s thought take the reader by way of the history of twentieth century European philosophy, Catherine Chalier here succeeds in laying out Levinas’s ethical system of belief by reference to Kant. What Ought I to Do? succeeds in making Levinasian ethics accessible to the broader philosophical community.”-Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis

“Kant is the figure in the western philosophical tradition that Levinas most resembles, yet there are indispensable deviations amongst them, most notably on the issue of autonomy versus heteronomy. Hitherto the relation amongst Levinas and Kant has not been distinctly understood. It is the great virtue of Catherine Chalier’s impressive book that these deviations and samenesses may be brought together in a clear activity of formally presenting something that shows how Levinas and Kant may supplement each other in building a powerful moral vision.”-Simon Critchley, University of Essex
