+ | There is little [[doubt]] that [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] is one of the most challenging and controversial [[figures]] in contemporary [[philosophy]]. This volume of essays brings together leading commentators from both sides of the Atlantic to provide an introduction to Badiou’s [[work]] through critical studies of his more productive and controversial [[ideas]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Over the course of [[three]] decades, his numerous and extensive [[texts]] have challenged traditional views on [[ontology]], [[mathematics]], [[aesthetics]], [[literature]], [[politics]], [[ethics]], philosophy, and [[sexual]] [[difference]]. His texts on [[Plato]], Saint [[Paul]], [[Pascal]], [[Lacan]], [[Althusser]], [[Heidegger]], [[Mallarme]], Pessoa, and Beckett are among the most perceptive and penetrating essays on contemporary [[philosophical]] and [[literary]] [[culture]]. In addition to providing insight into the basic [[conceptual]] [[apparatus]] of Badiou’s philosophy, the essays also offer a more substantial critical assessment of the import of his main theses for different disciplines. | ||
