Summary

An-Archy and Justice reveals how Emmanuel Levinas' thought moves from an an-archichal ethics based on the face of the Other to an embrace of the modern liberal state. Author William Paul Simmons argues that by grounding the liberal state in this an-archical ethic, Levinas' philosophy provides a new foundation and new possibilities for key concepts of political thought such as natural rights, freedom, humanism, and international relations.
