+ | ''[[Theory]] of the [[Subject]]'', first published in [[France]] in 1982, is without [[doubt]] one of [[Alain]] Badiou’s most important works, laying many of the foundations for his magnum opus, [[Being]] and [[Event]]. Here [[Badiou]] seeks to provide a theory of the subject for [[Marxism]] through a study of [[Lacanian]] [[psychoanalysis]], offering a major contribution to Marxism, as well as to the larger debate regarding the [[relationship]] between psychoanalysis and [[philosophy]]. The book also provides a [[history]] and theory of [[structuralism]] and [[poststructuralism]], a unique evaluation of the achievements of [[French]] Maoism during the 1970s and the [[significance]] of the events of May [[1968]], and breathtaking [[analyses]] of art and [[literature]]. As a [[theoretical]] [[synthesis]], the book is extraordinary in [[terms]] of its originality, breadth and clarity. | ||

+ | This is arguably Badiou’s most creative and passionate book, encompassing the entire battlefield of contemporary theory, [[philosophy and psychoanalysis]]. Available for the first [[time]] in [[English]] and now in paperback, this is a must-read for anyone interested in this lively and highly original thinker. |
