Emmanuel Levinas' re-formulation of subjectivity, responsibility
and the good has radically influenced post-structuralist thought.
Political and legal theory, however, have only marginally profited
from his moral philosophy. Levinas' theme of one's infinite
responsibility for the other has often been romanticized by some
advocates of multiculturalism and natural justice. In this volume,
political theorists, philosophers and legal scholars critically
engage with this idealization of Levinas' ethics. The authors show
that his crucial formulation of the idea of 'the other in me' does
not offer a quick cure for today's nationalist, racist and
religious divides. Nor does his notion of anarchic responsibility
provide immediate relief for the agony of dealing with matters of
life and death. The rebelliousness of Levinas' thought is
rediscovered here and used to challenge preconceptions of social,
legal and individual responsibility.
