Phenomenology & Existentialism; Ethics & moral philosophy; Social & political philosophy

Building on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, this groundbreaking book puts the phenomenological paradigm into a new perspective. Overcoming the focus on self-reflection of the thinking subject and instead arguing for the importance of sociality as responsibility for the Other, this new approach is based on inter-subjectivity and introduces a social dimension in phenomenology. This also allows for a different interpretation of the notion of justice, which in this context sits in the space between the one, the other, and the third before settling into any relation to the law. In the vast area inhabited by more or less distant others, moral responsibility is implemented through the establishment and maintenance of just institutions.

Reviews for Sociality and Justice – Toward Social Phenomenology

Sociality and Justice successfully combines wide erudition with refreshing originality. It provides a thorough scrutiny of the legacy of the greatest moral philosophers of the 20th century with an intriguing as well as inspiring re-interpretation and re-adjustment of the results of that scrutiny to the conditions of the 21st century; in particular to the present-day confrontation of liberalism and communitarianism, perhaps the major issue and challenge which our century will need to face, deal with, and hopefully resolve. -- Zygmunt Bauman
