[[File:Badiou and the Political Condition.jpg|thumb]]
==Book Description==
Unpacks the diverse [[intellectual ]] legacies woven into Badiou’s [[work ]] on contemporary [[polemics ]] and [[political ]] interventions
The 11 essays in this volume, including a new piece by [[Badiou ]] himself, reflect the formative traditions that shape the background of his political [[thought]]. They intervene critically and evaluate the [[present ]] [[state ]] of Badiou’s work, while also breaking new ground and creating new thresholds of political thought.
The contributors are a range of established scholars and rising theorists of the Badiou-effect. Each engages with the critical question of ‘how to transmit the exception’ politically. at the intersection of contemporary anti-imperial polemics and debates that strike at the heart of the post-modern condition (Lyotard), [[deconstruction ]] ([[Derrida]]), [[psychoanalysis ]] ([[Lacan ]] – Žižek), [[biopolitics ]] (Hardt and Negri) and pedagogy (Rancière).
