+ | Beginning with a sustained critique of the so-called ‘end of philosophy’, [[Badiou]] goes on to propose a new definition of [[philosophy]], one that is tested with respect to both its origin, in [[Plato]], and its contemporary [[state]]. The essays that follow are ordered according to what Badiou sees as the four great conditions of philosophy: philosophy and [[poetry]], philosophy and [[mathematics]], philosophy and [[politics]], and philosophy and [[love]]. ''Conditions ''provides an illuminating reworking of all the major theories in ''[[Being]] and [[Event]]''. In so doing, Badiou not only develops the complexity of the [[concepts]] central to ''Being and Event ''but also adds new ones to his already formidable arsenal. The essays in ''Conditions ''reveal the extraordinary and systematic [[nature]] of Badiou’s [[philosophical]] enterprise. |
