Kristeva points to Montesquieu's esprit général -- his notion of the social body as a guaranteed hierarchy of private rights -- in this humanistic plea for tolerance and commonality.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Bringing together the national and the cosmopolitan, Julia Kristeva makes the case for a commitment to a new universalism which recognizes that we are all strangers to each other. This is an important contribution to recent debates concerning race, nationalism, and identity. -- Toril Moi editor of The Kristeva Reader

Reflections of 'self', 'otherness', 'identity', 'values', and other abstractions. -- Times Literary Supplement
