Dave Boothroyd develops an original perspective on Levinas' account of the ethical Subject as contingently and empirically embedded in everyday experience. He reads Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, Foucault, Irigaray, Deleuze, Badiou and Nancy alongside Levinas to address ethical issues such as sexual difference, vulnerability, secrecy, communications, suffering, hospitality, friendship, censorship and death.
