The relationship between tort law jurisprudence, and the ethics and phenomenology of Emmanuel Levinas.
Links the controversial ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and the common law legal tradition. This book features an arguement, that the ethicists and lawyers struggle with the same basic questions of why we should care for others and what responsibility really demands of us, using the same language of care, neighbourhood, and proximity.
