He has translated Lyotard, Deguy, Duras, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Paul Ricœur. His most recent books are Sharing Common Ground: A Space for Ethics (Bloomsbury, 2017) (translations in Japanese and French forthcoming in 2020), a translation of Deguy's To That Which Ends Not: Threnody (Spuyten Duyvil, 2018), Witnessness: Beckett, Levi, Dante and the Foundations of Ethics (Continuum, 2010), which appeared in French as Témoignabilité (MetisPresses, 2015), and De l’exception à la règle (Éditions Lignes, 2006) on USA PATRIOT Act. He is a major co-editor of the Œuvres complètes of Marguerite Duras in the Pléiade edition with Gallimard. From 2001 until 2007, Harvey was a Program Director at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris.
Prof. Harvey is currently completing a book entitled Scare Quotes for MIT Press on "semantic perversion" and, with Kiff Bamford, is under contract for a translation and critical edition of Jean-François Lyotard's Lecture d'enfance ( Readings in Infancy).
