Opis

Emmanuel Levinas' re-formulation of subjectivity, responsibility and the good has radically influenced post-structuralist thought. This volume engages political theorists, philosophers and legal scholars to rediscover the rebelliousness of Levinas' thought and uses it to challenge preconceptions of social, legal and individual responsibility.
