OverviewThe present era of economic devastation, legacies of colonization and imperialism, climate change and habitat loss, calls for a new understanding of ethics. These essays on otherness, responsibility and hospitality raise urgent questions. Contributors range from the prominent-including Levinas, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben-to recent theorists such as Judith Butler, Enrique Dussell and Rosi Braidotti. The essays emphasize the always vulnerable status of a radically different Other, even as they question what responsibility to that Other might mean.

The editors have done an impressive job of assembling and juxtaposing key texts in order to generate further dialogue and debate. This book offers a readable introduction to poststructural theory.

Ethics after Poststructuralism offers an impressive portrait of the richness of Levinas's philosophy for thinking about the most important and challenging ethical issues of our time, including multiculturalism, liberalism, feminism, state authority, immigration, decolonialism, posthumanism, and ecology. Ethics after Poststructuralism stands among the most exciting invitations to become ethical, in a Levinasian sense, that I have read. It is destined to become a classic. --Raoul Moati, The University of Chicago, author of Levinas and the Night of Being.
