“How Is It Between Us? provides a vital intervention into the limits of existing ethical theories through a careful rethinking of the conditions that have radically transformed our possibilities for existing in the contemporary world. This is without a doubt one of the most important books on ethics to have been published in the last decade or more.”

C. Jason Throop, author of "Suffering and Sentiment: Exploring the Vicissitudes of Experience and Pain in Yap"

“How is it between us? Not great, as Zigon reminds us. But in an era of climate disaster, data mining, and algorithmic policing, this book offers a series of thoughtful reflections on the meaning and practice of relational ethics, shifting our attention from the moral status of individual subjects to the worldly texture of the between.”

Lisa Guenther, author of "Solitary Confinement: Social Death and its Afterlives" and "The Gift of the Other: Levinas and the Politics of Reproduction"

“Over the past two decades Jarrett Zigon has been developing an influential approach to the study of ethics grounded in anthropological and phenomenological thought. Many scholars working at the intersection of the social sciences and philosophy have called for a relational ethics. In this book we finally have one that is genuinely original, grounded in rigorous argument, and elegantly presented. Those who have been following Zigon’s work will want to read this, and for those who are new to it, this is now the place to start.”
