A provocative account of how Levinas' ethics can help us understand
our relationship with lawEmmanuel Levinas's philosophy of ethics
has frequently attracted attention amongst legal scholars, but he
remains a divisive and often enigmatic contributor to this field.
He has been read within contexts as varied as human rights, private
law, refugee law, and on the nature of judicial reasoning. This
book explores what might unite such apparently diverse applications
of his ideas, and in doing so considers the challenge of law's
ethical relationship with the other. In addition to asking how
Levinas's ethics can inform legal problems, the book also examines
the ways in which the modern legal edifice has a deceptive tendency
to close itself off from the ethical experience. In particular,
literatures on biopolitics suggest that law is increasingly
complicit in reductive determinations of how we understand
ourselves and others. Levinas's most penetrating insight might not,
therefore, lie in the law's instrumentalisation of his ethics, but
instead in the way his ethics trace a human encounter that escapes
law.
