Recenzii
Drew Dalton's The Ethics of Resistance: Tyranny of the Absolute is a book that I wish I had written. This text is a rigorous, articulate, and exceptionally clear development of a unique and original ethical position . I highly recommend The Ethics of Resistance to both novices and scholars interested in ethics, phenomenology, and contemporary French philosophy. It presents a genuinely original philosophical position through rigorous, clear, and meticulous analyses, that, I think, must be reckoned with.
A valuable resource for students of religion as well as philosophy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
Through a sharp reading of the ethics foregrounding most contemporary western thought and philosophy's relationship with the absolute, Dalton finds the point where ethical thought falls into nihilism or, even worse, outright fascism. Dalton goes on to outline an "ethics of resistance" that pulls away from the tyranny of the absolute.
If anybody considers themselves to be on the cutting edge of contemporary ethics, then they cannot ignore Dalton's re-evaluation of what we thought we all knew about ethics.
Dalton does a great job of writing clearly about very difficult philosophers. This is an important book for anyone interested in the source of fanaticism.
A radical re-reading of evil in relation to ethics, which carries with it a powerful argument against the seduction of the absolute; the writing style is forceful and animated without being hyperbolic. This is an original contribution to the field of contemporary continental philosophy.
