Political and legal theory, have only marginally profited from his moral philosophy. Instead, Levinas's theme of one's 'infinite responsibility for the other' has been often romanticised by some advocates of natural justice and diluted by proponents of multiculturalism. In this volume, political theorists, philoshophers and legal scholars critically engage with this idealisation of Levina's ethics. The authors show that his idea of 'the other in me' does not offer a quick cure for today's nationalist, racial and religious divides. Nor does his notion of 'anarchic responsibility' provide immediate relief for the agony of dealing decisively with matters of life and death. The rebelliousness of Levinas's thought is here rediscovered and used to challenge our preconceptions of social, legal and individual responsibilities.
