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. -- Dylan Trigg, FWF Lise Meitner Senior Fellow, Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria 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. -- Paul Cliteur, Professor of Jurisprudence, Leiden University, The Netherlands

This is an important book for anyone interested in the source of fanaticism. -- Paul Cliteur, Professor of Jurisprudence, Leiden University, The Netherlands 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. -- William Watkin, Professor of Contemporary Philosophy and Literature, Brunel University, UK
