Ethics-Politics-Subjectivity: Essays on Derrida, Levinas & Contemporary French Thought (Radical Thinkers)
- Used Book in Good Condition
In Ethicsâ‚¬â€œPoliticsâ‚¬â€œSubjectivity, Simon Critchley takes up three questions at the centre of contemporary theoretical debate: What is ethical experience? What can be said of the subject who has this experience? What, if any, is the relation of ethical experience to politics? Through spirited confrontations with major thinkers, such as Lacan, Nancy, Rorty, and, in particular, Levinas and Derrida, Critchley finds answers in a nuanced â‚¬Å“ethics of finitudeâ‚¬Â and defends the political possibilities of deconstruction. Democracy, economics, friendship, and technology are all considered anew in Critchleyâ‚¬s bold excursions on the meaning and value of recent French philosophy.
