[[Alain ]] [[Badiou ]] is one of the leading [[philosophers ]] in the [[world ]] today. His ground-breaking [[philosophy ]] is based on a creative [[reading ]] of set [[theory]], offering a new [[understanding ]] of what it means to be [[human ]] by promoting an ‘intelligence of change’. Badiou’s [[philosophical ]] [[system ]] makes our capacity for [[revolution ]] and novelty central to who we are, and develops an [[ethical ]] [[position ]] that aims to make us less anxious [[about ]] this very capacity.

This book presents a comprehensive and engaging account of Badiou’s philosophy, including an in-depth [[discussion ]] of ''The Theory of the [[Subject]]'', ''[[Being ]] and [[Event]]'' and ''Logics of Worlds''. In a clear and careful [[analysis]], Ed Pluth considers exactly how Badiou’s [[theoretical ]] ‘anti-humanism’ is linked up to what is, for all intents and purposes, a [[practical ]] [[humanism]]. Central to this is an account of Badiou’s theory of [[The Subject|the subject]], and his attempt to develop an ‘ethic ‘[[ethic]] of truths’. The [[role ]] of [[set theory]], [[Marxism]], and [[Lacanian ]] [[psychoanalysis ]] in Badiou’s philosophy is also given close attention.
