[[File:Confrontation- Alain Badiou & Alain Finkielkraut – A Conversation with Aude Lancelin.jpg|thumb]]
==Book Description==
Everything in their respective positions [[divides]] [[them]]: [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] is the thinker of a revitalized [[communism]] and Alain Finkielkraut the mournful [[observer]] of the [[loss]] of values. The two opponents, gathered here for their first-ever debate, have [[irreconcilable]] visions. Yet neither is a stranger to controversy, and in this debate they make [[explicit]] the grounds of their personal dispute as well as addressing, in a frank and open [[exchange]], their [[ideas]] and theories.
Guided by Aude Lancelin, the two [[philosophers]] discuss [[subjects]] as diverse as national [[identity]], [[Israel]] and [[Judaism]], May [[1968]], and renewed popularity of the [[idea]] of communism. Their passionate debate is more than just the sum [[total]] of their disagreements, however, for neither of them is [[satisfied]] with the [[state]] of our [[society]] or the direction in which its [[political]] representatives persist in taking it. They agree that there [[needs]] to be [[change]] and their confrontation in this volume shows the importance of asking difficult questions, not only of each [[other]], but also of our political systems.
