Infinitely Demanding: Ethics of Commitment, Politics of Resistance

The clearest, boldest and most systematic statement of Simon Critchley’s influential views on philosophy, ethics, and politics, “Infinitely Demanding” identifies a massive political disappointment at the heart of liberal democracy. Arguing that what is called for is an ethics of commitment that can inform a radical politics, Critchley considers the possibility of political subjectivity and action after Marx and Marxism, taking in the work of Kant, Levinas, Badiou and Lacan.
