Books in the Perspectives in Continental Philosophy series

Radical Hospitality addresses a timely and challenging subject for contemporary philosophy: the ethical responsibility of opening borders, psychic and physical, to the stranger. The book engages urgent moral conversations concerning identity, nationality, immigration, peace, and justice for the work of living together.

Class Acts looks at two often neglected aspects of Derrida's work as a philosopher, his public lectures and his teaching, along with the question of the "speech act" that links them, that is, the question of what one is doing when one speaks in public in these ways.

Adam Kotsko makes the case for the continued relevance of Christian theology for contemporary intellectual life, demonstrating its vibrancy as a creative and constructive pursuit outside the church, rethinking its often rivalrous relationship with philosophy, and tracing the theological roots of modern models of governance and racial oppression.

Murderous Consent details our implication in violence that we do not directly inflict but in which we are structurally complicit. Marc Crepon invites the reader to resist that implication by arguing for an ethicosmopolitics grounded in our receptivity to the pleas for assistance that the vulnerability and mortality of the other enjoin everywhere.
