What role do sex and race play in living or being ethically? Can ethics lead to ontology? Can literature play a role in ethical being? Drawing extensively on the work of Irigaray, Fanon, and Heidegger, Penelope Ingram argues that ethical questions must be understood in light of ontological ones. It is only when sexual and racial difference are viewed at an ontological level that ethics is truly possible. Central to the connection between ontology and ethics is the role of language. Ingram revisits the relationship between representation and matter in order to advance a theory of material signification. penelope ingram haberle revise pms 2765, pms metallic 8580 JANUArY • 154 pp $16.95 pb 978-0-7914-7444-0 e IMAGINING LAW imagining law On Drucilla Cornell Renée J.

Renée J. Heberle and Benjamin Pryor bring together scholars from a range of disciplines who reflect on Cornell’s influence and importance to contemporary social and political theory and critically engage with ideas and arguments central to her published work. The final chapter is Cornell’s own response to the contributors’ views, establishing a record of a critical exchange among top scholars from across disciplines. Emil Fackenheim (1916–2003), one of the most important Jewish philosophers of the twentieth century, called on the world not only to bear witness to the Holocaust as an unprecedented assault on Judaism and on humanity, but also to recognize that the question of what it means to philosophize—indeed, what it means to be human—must be raised anew in its wake. The book begins with two recent essays written by Fackenheim himself and includes responses to the questions that Fackenheim posed to philosophy, Judaism, and humanity after the Holocaust. http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61563 http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61614 http://www.sunypress.edu http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61599 http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61622
