The clearest, boldest and most systematic statement of Simon Critchley's influen
tial views on philosophy, ethics, and politics, "Infinitely Demanding" identifie
s 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 pol
itics, Critchley considers the possibility of political subjectivity and action
after Marx and Marxism, taking in the work of Kant, Levinas, Badiou and Lacan. "
Infinitely Demanding" culminates in an argument for anarchism as an ethical prac
tice and a remotivating means of political organization.
