An Ethics of Dissensus by Ewa Ziarek

An Ethics of Dissensus by Ewa Ziarek

Addressing a constellation of diverse thinkers including Emmanuel Levinas, Patricia Williams, Michel Foucault and Luce Irigaray, this book proposes a conception of ethics - an ethics of dissensus that rethinks the relation between freedom and obligation in the context of embodiment and antagonism.

"Ziarek has produced one of the most sensitive, thoughtful, original, and quietly provocative texts I know in the broad areas of contemporary philosophy and sexual and racial politics. . . Trained in comparative literature and literary studies, she is equally at home in the most difficult and contentious of philosophical texts." -- Elizabeth Grosz, State University of New York * Buffalo *
"Original, carefully argued, and beautifully written, this book is one of the first sustained attempts to think through the relationship between feminist ethics and feminist politics. Ziarek's nuanced readings of central figures in current debates in postmodern ethics provide not only new ways of interpreting their work but also new directions for ethical theory." -- Kelly Oliver * SUNY-Stony Brook *

Ewa Plonowska Ziarek is Associate Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame. She is the author of The Rhetoric of Failure: Deconstruction of Skepticism, Reinvention of Modernism.
