Infinitely Demanding: Ethics of Commitment, Politics of Resistance - Softcover

"Lucid and thought-provoking" Guardian "Highly recommended" Choice "A little book with a big idea", TLS "A stimulating analysis; highly recommended" Library Journal "The culmination of his philosophical work to-date" Julian Baggini, The Philosophers' Magazine "Simon Critchley is the most powerful and provocative philosopher now writing about the complex relations of ethical subjectivity and reinvigorated democracy." Cornel West"

"Infinitely Demanding" is the clearest, boldest and most systematic statement of Simon Critchley's influential views on philosophy, ethics and politics. Part diagnosis of the times, part theoretical analysis of the impasses and possibilities of ethics and politics, part manifesto, "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, it culminates in an argument for anarchism as an ethical practice and a re-motivating means of political organization.
