Against Ethics: Contributions to a Poetics of Obligation with Constant Reference to Deconstruction

John D. Caputo

Against Ethics is beautifully written, clever, learned, thought-provoking, and even inspiring. -Theological Studies

Writing in the form of his ideas, Caputo offers the reader a truly exquisite reading experience…. his iconic style mirrors a truly refreshing honesty that draws the reader in to play. -Quarterly Journal of Speech

Against Ethics is, in my judgment, one of the most important works on philosophical ethics that has been written in recent years…. Caputo speaks with a passion and a concern that are rare in academic philosophy. His profound sense of humor deepens the passion of the viewpoints he develops. -Mark C. Taylor

Obligation happens! declares Caputo in this brilliant and witty postmodern critique of ethics, framed as a contemporary restaging of Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling.
