How are we to conceive of acts that suddenly expose the injustice of the prevailing order? These acts challenge long-standing hidden or silently tolerated injustices, but as they are unsupported by existing ethical rules they pose a drastic challenge to dominant norms. In Excessive Subjectivity, Dominik Finkelde rereads the tradition of German idealism and finds in it the potential for transformative acts that are capable of revolutionizing the social order. Finkelde's discussion of the meaning and structure of the ethical act meticulously engages thinkers typically treated as opposed-Kant, Hegel, and Lacan-to develop the concept of excessive subjectivity, which is characterized by nonconformist acts that reshape the contours of ethical life. For Kant, the subject is defined by the ethical acts she performs. Hegel interprets Kant's categorical imperative as the ability of an individual's conscience to exceed the existing state of affairs. Lacan emphasizes the transgressive force of unconscious desire on the ethical agent. Through these thinkers Finkelde develops a radical ethics for contemporary times. Integrating perspectives from both analytical and continental philosophy, Excessive Subjectivity is a distinctive contribution to our understanding of the ethical subject.

Badiou's philosophy of the event stands at the centre of his influential theory of revolutionary politics. It has received both much acclaim for the way it rigorously and systematically unfolds as well as heavy criticism because of the philosopher's theoretical and personal radicalism as an outspoken critic of modern western democracies. Does Badiou's oeuvre not undermine the value of political representation via the state? What is left of the state in Badiou's thinking if political and universal ""events"" by definition bear validity through their illegitimacy, while the state only represents legality?

Wie lassen sich ethisch motivierte Taten denken, die sich auf keine gegebenen sittlichen Vorstellungen und keine Legalitat stutzen konnen? Das heisst: Taten, welche - umgekehrt - die gegebenen normativen Ordnungen radikal in Frage stellen, dennoch aber nicht einfach als eigennutzige Verletzung oder willkurliche Ubertretung der herrschenden Normativitat zu qualifizieren sind. Die in dem vorliegenden Buch prasentierte Theorie exzessiver Subjektivitat zielt auf genau solche historisch so seltenen wie fundamentalen (namlich grundenden) ethischen Ereignisse. Die Rede von exzessiver Subjektivitat wird dabei als ein Strukturmoment verstanden, aber nicht in der Verwirklichung dessen, was Ethik als philosophische Disziplin erklarbarer und rechtfertigbarer Handlungen vorzuschreiben versucht, sondern als Verwirklichung des Ethischen, das sich im Sinne eines Kontextbruches mit der Sittlichkeit als Ineinssetzung von Partikularem und Allgemeinem erst nachtraglich (be-)grundet. Die Studie untersucht und analysiert diesen riskanten und dennoch unumganglichen Moment einer tathaften Neubegrun- dung als zentrales Strukturmoment des Ethischen in den Werken von Kant, Hegel und Lacan.
