I'm looking for a criticism of Levinasian ethics, and what Derrida seems =
to align (bad word, I know) himself with in some regards--that is--an =
infinite responsibility toward the other. Are there any criticisms that =
argue how even infinite responsibility risks redeployment? that it still =
assumes a certain fullfillment of responsibility, which, when =
frustrated, can articulate into violence?

thanks
