Description: A new political ethics that confronts the injustices of liberal democracy. 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. *Infinitely Demanding* culminates in an argument for anarchism as an ethical practice and a remotivating means of political organization.
