Judith Butler: Ethics, Law, Politics

The first to use Judith Butler's work as a reading of how the legal subject is formed, this book traces how Butler comes to the themes of ethics, law and politics; analyzing their interrelation and explaining how they relate to Butler's question of how people can have more liveable and viable lives.
