    Arendt Levinas and A Politics of Relatio PDF

    This book brings Hannah Arendt's politics into dialogue with Emmanuel Levinas' ethics to develop an approach to politics that is relational, inclusive, and empowering. It explores how Arendt's notion of plurality and Levinas' ethics of alterity can inform an alternative conception of politics based on relationality, responsibility, and the ideas of plurality and alterity. The author argues this can provide a "post-foundationalist" politics that is a moving commitment to hope in difficult times.

    Arendt, Levinas and a Politics

    of Relationality
    By Anya Topolski
    By bringing Hannah Arendt’s politics into dialogue
    with Emmanuel Levinas’ ethics, this book develops
    an approach to the political that is relational,
    inclusive, and empowering.

    “This persuasive and passionate book stages a long overdue encounter between Arendt’s
    notion of plurality and Levinas’s ethics of alterity, in order to construct an affirmative
    politics of relationality that is richly informed by the Judaic. Working beyond categorical
    differences between politics and ethics, Topolski presents this ‘post-foundationalist’
    relationality as a moving commitment to hope in divisive and dangerous times.”
    – Seán Hand, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Warwick
    Born in Eastern Europe, educated in the West under the guidance of Martin Heidegger and
    the phenomenological tradition, and forced to flee during the Holocaust because of their
    Jewish identity, it should come as no surprise that Emmanuel Levinas and Hannah Arendt’s
    ideas intersect in an important way. This book demonstrates for the first time the
    significance of a dialogue between Levinas’ ethics of alterity and Arendt’s politics of
    plurality. Anya Topolski brings their respective projects into dialogue by means of the
    notion of relationality, a concept inspired by the Judaic tradition that is prominent in both
    thinkers’ work. The book explores questions relating to the relationship between ethics and
    politics, the Judaic contribution to rethinking the meaning of the political after the Shoah,
    and the role of relationality and responsibility for politics. The result is an alternative
    conception of the political based on the ideas of plurality and alterity that aims to be
    relational, inclusive, and empowering.

    Anya Topolski is a FWO Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Ethics, Social and Political
    Philosophy at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.
