Despite his unassailable heritage, the passionate thinker to whom Levinas dedicated Totalité et infini has today nearly been forgotten outside France. This forgetting is the shared premise of two books published in recent years. The first is William C. Hackett and Jeffrey Hanson’s edition and translation of Wahl’s Existence humaine et transcendance (1944): Human Existence and Transcendence (Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2016, pp. 151), and the second is a volume of selections from Wahl’s philosophical writings edited by Alan D. Schrift and Ian Alexander Moore: Jean Wahl: Transcendence and the Concrete Selected Writings (New York: Fordham University Press, Perspectives in Continental Philosophy, 2017, pp. 291).

让·瓦尔无懈可击的遗产

尽管有着无可挑剔的传统，列维纳斯将 Totalité et infini 献给了这位充满激情的思想家，但如今在法国以外几乎已被遗忘。这种遗忘是近年来出版的两本书的共同前提。第一个是 William C. Hackett 和 Jeffrey Hanson 对 Wahl's Existence humane et transcendance (1944): Human Existence and Transcendence (Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2016, pp. 151) 的版本和翻译，第二个是由 Alan D. Schrift 和 Ian Alexander Moore 编辑的 Wahl 哲学著作选集：Jean Wahl：超越与具体的精选著作（纽约：福特汉姆大学出版社，《大陆哲学展望》，2017 年，第 291 页）。
