Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intersections of ethics, politics, and subjectivity, Simon Critchley examines ethical experience and its implications for the self and political engagement. Engaging with influential thinkers like Lacan, Nancy, Rorty, and notably Levinas and Derrida, he articulates a nuanced "ethics of finitude." The book re-evaluates concepts such as democracy, economics, friendship, and technology, offering fresh insights into the relevance of contemporary French philosophy and the political potential inherent in deconstruction.
