Infos

Links the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas to the common law legal tradition that refreshed the idea of "the duty of care." The author argues that the ethicist and lawyer struggle with the basic questions of why we should care for others and what responsibility really demands of us when we use the language of care, neighborhood, and proximity.
