In this fascinating and rare little book, a leading Italian
feminist philosopher and the Archbishop of Milan face off over the
contemporary meaning of the biblical commandment not to kill. The
result is a series of erudite and wide-ranging arguments that move
from murder and suicide to just war and drone strikes, from
bioethics and biopolitics to hermeneutics and philology, from
Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer to Hannah Arendt and Michel
Foucault, from Torah and Scripture to art and literature, from the
essence of human dignity and the paradoxes of fratricide to
engagements with Levinasian ethics. Less a direct debate than a
disputation in the classical sense, Thou Shalt Not Kill proves to
be a searching meditation on one of the unstated moral premises
shared by otherwise bitterly opposed political factions. It will
stimulate the mind of the novice while also reminding more advanced
readers of the necessity and desirability of thinking in the
present.
