+ | [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] is arguably the most original and influential [[philosopher]] [[working]] in [[France]] today. Working against the tide of [[postmodern]] orthodoxy, Badiou revitalizes philosophy’s perennial attempt to provide a systematic [[theory]] of [[truth]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''[[Theoretical]] Writings ''presents, in Badiou’s own [[words]], ‘the theoretical core of [his] Philosophy’. Beginning with the controversial assertion that [[ontology]] is [[mathematics]], the chapters step the reader through his key [[concepts]] of [[being]], [[subject]] and truth via startling re-readings of canonical [[figures]] including [[Spinoza]], [[Kant]] and [[Hegel]] and engagements with [[poetry]], [[psychoanalysis]] and radical [[politics]]. ''Theoretical Writings'' is an indispensable introduction to one of the great thinkers of our [[time]]. |
