Alongside the major narratives of ethics in the tradition of
Western philosophy, a reader with an eye to the vague and the
peripheral, to the turbulent and shifting, will spy minor lines of
thinking - and with them, new histories and thus new futures. Minor
Ethics develops a new approach to reading texts from the history of
philosophical ethics. It aims to enliven lines of thought that are
latent and suppressed within the major ethical texts regularly
studied and taught, and to include texts and ideas that have been
excluded from the canon of Western ethics. The editors and
contributors have put Gilles Deleuze's concepts - such as affect,
assemblage, and multiplicity - into conversation with a range of
ethical texts from ancient thought to the present. Rather than
aiming for a coherent whole to emerge from these threads, the
essays maintain a vigilant alertness to difference, to vibrations
and resonances that are activated in the coupling of texts. What
emerges are new questions, new problems, and new trajectories for
thinking, which have as a goal the liberation of ethical
questioning. Minor Ethics takes up a range of canonical ethical
questions and thinks through concrete ethical problems relating to
drug addiction, environmental responsibility, xenophobia, trauma,
refugees, political parties, and cultural difference. The responses
to these concerns demonstrate the minoritarian promise of the
opening up of ethical thinking.
