Emmanuel Levinas's phenomenologies of the face of the Other have
opened new vistas for contemporary ethical thought, but their
implications for political thought have remained largely
unexplored. In An-Archy and Justice, William Simmons systematically
examines Levinas's political thought from its foundations to its
implications to fill this theoretical void. Levinas worked against
the predominant egocentric traditions in Western philosophy,
claiming that in order to respond concretely to all Others the ego
must rely on political institutions, yet these institutions must
always be held in check by the original ethical relationship with
the Other. In his penetrating and insightful analysis of Levinas's
work, Simmons argues that Levinas's philosophy provides a new
foundation for political thought by grounding the liberal state on
an anarchical ethics. An-Archy and Justice is a ground-breaking and
thought-provoking analysis of a profoundly creative thinker.
