Infinitely Demanding by Simon Critchley
Part diagnosis of the times, part theoretical analysis of the impasses and possibilities of ethics and politics, part manifesto, this title identifies a political disappointment at the heart of liberal democracy. It culminates in an argument for anarchism as an ethical practice and a re-motivating means of political organization.
