==Book Description==
This book continues [[Alain]] Badiou’s [[project]] to posit an integral link between [[mathematics]] and [[ontology]]. Originally published as part of a trilogy in 1998, ''Briefings on [[Existence]]'' engages the [[ideas]] of [[Deleuze]], [[Spinoza]], [[Plato]], [[Aristotle]], and [[Kant]] and outlines how the [[philosophical]] inquiry into [[Being]] and existence converges with the possible [[world]] [[topology]] of [[category]] [[theory]]. Set against the background of a multiplication of gods that can be declared [[dead]] (the gods of [[religions]], [[metaphysics]], and [[poetry]]), [[Badiou]] argues that the extension of these events has fallen short of accomplishing its collective promise, but can be achieved through the [[mathematical]] [[understanding]] of ontology. After several remarkable decades of [[theoretical]] invention, [[French]] [[philosophy]] stands at a crossroads, and Badiou’s egalitarian [[materialism]] is one of its strongest calls forward.
