Book Synopsis
Matthew Stone asks what unites apparently disparate applications of Levinas' ideas about law and explores the ethical challenge of law's relationship with 'the Other'. Ultimately, he is sceptical that Levinasian ethics can be invested in legal institutions and instead proposes that it should be embodied in the perpetual critique of law.
