Emmanuel 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.
