==Book Description==
''Logics of Worlds'' is the sequel to [[Alain]] Badiou’s much-heralded masterpiece, ''[[Being]] and [[Event]]''. Tackling the questions that had been [[left]] open by ''[[Being and Event]]'', and answering many of his critics in the [[process]], [[Badiou]] supplements his pioneering [[treatment]] of multiple being with a daring and [[complex]] [[theory]] of the worlds in which truths and [[subjects]] make their mark – what he calls a [[materialist]] [[dialectic]]. The radical recasting of ''[[ontology]]'' in ''Being and Event'' is followed and complemented here by a thoroughgoing transformation in our very [[understanding]] of ''[[logic]]'', conceived as a theory not of ''being'' but of ''appearing''.
Unafraid to resurrect and reinvent the classical themes of [[philosophy]], Badiou gives new [[meaning]] to [[concepts]] such as [[object]], [[body]] and relation, mobilising [[them]] in arresting studies that range from the architectural planning of Brasilia to contemporary [[astronomy]], and confronting himself with towering [[philosophical]] counterparts (Leibniz, [[Kant]], [[Hegel]], [[Kierkegaard]], [[Lacan]], [[Deleuze]]). The book culminates in an impassioned call to ‘live for an Idea’. Now in paperback, the book is accessible to a wider audience.
