Silent Footsteps is a book of one choice, to live or die. The decision is not always a conscious one, but one of destiny. It follows the never-ending battle of parent vs. child, age vs. youth, experience vs. inexperience, all of which continue from beyond the shroud of death. What is it like to die? And is it fair that 'forever' results from one bad decision? Only one person can answer these questions and that person is dead. Silent Footsteps looks at death from the deceased's point of view; where education never stops, and the lessons learned while in the flesh teach the dead.

Challenging previous interpretations of Levinas that gloss over his use of the feminine or show how he overlooks questions raised by feminists, Claire Elise Katz explores the powerful and productive links between the feminine and religion in Levinas's work. Rather than viewing the feminine as a metaphor with no significance for women or as a means to reinforce traditional stereotypes, Katz goes beyond questions of sexual difference to reach a more profound understanding of the role of the feminine in Levinas's conception of ethical responsibility. She combines feminist interpretations of Levinas with interpretations that focus on his Jewish writings to reveal that the feminine provides an important bridge between his philosophy and his Judaism. Katz's reading of Levinas's conception of the feminine against the backdrop of discussions of women of the Hebrew bible points to important shifts in contemporary philosophy toward the creation of life and care for the other.
