Adam Thurschwell’s review of Simon Critchley’s Infinitely Demanding: Ethics of Commitment, Politics of Resistance

This is a brief review of Simon Critchley’s recent book, Infinitely Demanding: Ethics of Commitment, Politics of Resistance. In it, he argues that the overriding political-philosophical problem of late modernity is the problem of political motivation. Critchley’s book is both an analysis and critique of how that problem has been resolved by ethical and political philosophers since Kant and a defense of his own solution, which he derives primarily from the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and which issues in a call for a form of ethical anarchism. In this review I summarize his arguments and raise some critical questions about his solution, while agreeing with him about the essential nature of the problem of motivation that his book highlights.

CALL FOR PAPERS | December 2007 Issue

KRITIKE is a Filipino independent, open access, peer-reviewed, and interdisciplinary journal of philosophy founded by a group of University of Santo Tomas alumni. The journal seeks to publish articles and book reviews by local and international authors across the whole range of philosophical topics and schools of thought. The journal primarily caters to works by academic philosophers and graduate students, but contributions by undergraduate students are also welcomed.

KRITIKE is interested in publishing original articles across the whole range of philosophical topics and schools of thought. Publishing in the journal is not limited to academic philosophers and philosophy majors; we do encourage contributors from disciplines other than Philosophy (Political Science, Literature, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Communication, History, Linguistics, Law, Economics, Natural Sciences, etc). The basic condition is that the paper should have a strong philosophical bent to it.

KRITIKE is also accepting book reviews of books published within the years 2004-2007 (2000 words maximum).
