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. It would also work in the seminar setting.”—Christopher Wise, Western Washington University
“<i>Ethics after Poststructuralism</i> 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. <i>Ethics after Poststructuralism</i> 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 <i>Levinas and the Night of Being</i>.
