The most recent of her books are An Ethics of Remembering: History, Heterology, and the Nameless Others; Saints and Postmodernism: Revisioning Moral Philosophy; and a second edition of Emmanuel Levinas: The Problem of Ethical Metaphysics (Fordham).

"Wyschogrod focuses upon the unique and innovative aspects of Levinas, [his] attempts to base metaphysics on ethics rather than the traditional subordination of ethical theories to preconceived metaphysics." -The Modern Schoolman
