This book of political theory reflects on how cultures imagine their barbarians in the form of essentialized others, focusing specifically on the kinds of barbarism associated with a civilization devoted to technological progress. In response to the excesses of modernity, the author looks to advance an ethic of difference, inverting the golden rule so as to do unto others as those others would do unto themselves.
