What would political thought look like without the foundation of ethics? Drawing on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, Madeleine Fagan puts forward a radical and far-reaching refusal of foundational ethics. Instead, she proposes an account of the inseparability of ethics and politics. The 'ethical' should not be understood as a label; it does not mean 'good' or 'right', it is not an evaluation or guide. Rather, both the ethical and the political are descriptions of the context in which we find ourselves. The book highlights the necessity of a practice-based rethinking of the relationship between ethics and politics and so denaturalises a series of commonplaces about poststructuralist ethics.

Ethics and Politics after Poststructuralism offers a novel way to think about why we are unable to give ourselves the answers that we nevertheless continue to look for. Fagan provides a smart discussion of key thinkers’ problematisation of ethics and politics and she has the courage of her convictions. If you’ve ever lain awake at night, wondering about your responsibility in the world and being troubled by poststructuralism, you should read this book.
