From the Back Cover
A provocative account of how Levinas's ethics can help us understand our relationship with law Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy of ethics has frequently attracted attention amongst legal scholars and 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. Matthew Stone is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Essex. He is co-editor of New Critical Legal Thinking: Law and the Political (2012) and is author of numerous journal articles on critical legal theory.
