Changes

Between 1965 and [[1968]], the celebrated [[French ]] [[philosopher ]] [[Alain ]] [[Badiou ]] hosted a televised series in which he interviewed some of the most influential contemporary [[philosophers ]] of the period, including Michel [[Foucault]], [[Paul ]] [[Ricoeur]], Michel Henry and Michel Serres. This book presents the first [[English]]-[[language ]] [[translation ]] of those interviews.

Although Badiou had yet to publish the books that would go on to mark him out as the leading thinker of his generation (''[[Being ]] and [[Event]]'' and ''Logics of Worlds''), his unique approach and highly original [[ideas ]] are [[present ]] in each [[discussion ]] and the interviews present his [[philosophical ]] origins in a lively and engaging context. More importantly these highly accessible and entertaining interviews provide a snapshot of French [[philosophy ]] in the 1960s, setting the [[scene ]] for the very [[public ]] and [[political ]] context of philosophy in the period immediately preceding the events of May ’68, where philosophy played a crucial [[role]]. The book includes a new essay by Badiou in which he reflects on the [[project ]] 30 years on.
