<![CDATA[The gloomy political experiences, require ethics to get through of it. Simon Critchley argues that ethics is able to trigger the subject’s moral dimension to respond or reject the political system that pushes them into a state of depoliticization. Critchley's ethical theory is related to the formation of subjectivity, which includes the process of binding the self with concepts that are considered as good.
