Changes

[[Alain ]] [[Badiou ]] (1937- ) is one of the most high profile and controversial [[philosophers ]] [[writing ]] in [[France ]] today. A leading light in the generation of thinkers who come of [[intellectual ]] age in [[1968]], his [[work ]] deftly draws on a wide range of intellectual traditions and thinkers from [[Plato ]] and Lucretius, through [[Heidegger ]] to [[Lacan ]] and [[Deleuze]]. ''Infinite Thought ''is a vivid demonstration of that range. Here Badiou introduces his own [[thought ]] on the [[full ]] gamut of intellectual concerns, from [[politics]], [[psychoanalysis ]] and art to [[truth]], [[desire ]] and the definition of [[philosophy ]] itself. As well as Badiou’s reflections on the fall of [[communism ]] and the ‘War on Terror’, the book also includes an interview with the [[author]].
