A provocative account of how Levinas' ethics can help us understand our relationship
with law 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.
