He has translated Lyotard, Deguy, Duras, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Paul Ricœur. His most recent books are Readings in Infancy (Bloomsbury, 2023), a translation and critical edition of Lyotard’s Lecture d’enfance, an essay entitled Sharing Common Ground: A Space for Ethics (Bloomsbury, 2017), 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), 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.
Harvey's essay on memorializing the dead, entitled Parmi les gisants: penser le cimetière, is forthcoming from Presses Universitaires de France in January 2024. He is also currently completing a book entitled Semantic Perversions for Bloomsbury Academic.
