Marc Crépon insists on a bond between ethics and politics and attributes violence to our treatment of the two as separate spheres. We repeatedly resist the call to responsibility, as expressed by the appeal—by peoples across the world—for the care and attention that their vulnerability enjoins. \u003cbr\u003e But Crépon argues that this resistance is not ineluctable, and the book searches for ways that enable us to mitigate it, through rebellion, kindness, irony, critique, and shame. In the process, he engages with a range of writers, from Camus, Sartre, and Freud, to Stefan Zweig and Karl Kraus, to Kenzaburo Oe, Emmanuel Levinas and Judith Butler. The resulting exchange between philosophy and literature enables Crépon to delineate the contours of a possible\/impossible ethicosmopolitics—an ethicosmopolitics to come.\u003cbr\u003e Pushing against the limits of liberal rationalism, Crépon calls for a more radical understanding of interpersonal responsibility. Not just a work of philosophy but an engagement with life as it's lived, \u003ci\u003eMurderous Consent\u003c\/i\u003e works to redefine our global obligations, articulating anew what humanitarianism demands and what an ethically grounded political resistance might mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword by James Martel \u003c\/b\u003e  ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Justice   17\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eLife   46\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Freedom   75\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eTruth   109\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eThe World   140\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion \u003c\/b\u003e  173\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendix\u003c\/b\u003e.
