Following the publication of his magnum opus ''L’être et l’événement'' ([http://theory.local/text/books/alain-badiou/being-and-event/ ''Being and Event'']) in 1988, [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] has been acclaimed as one of France’s greatest [[living]] [[philosophers]]. Since then, he has released a dozen [[books]], including [http://theory.local/text/books/alain-badiou/manifesto-for-philosophy/ ''Manifesto for Philosophy''], [http://theory.local/text/books/alain-badiou/conditions/ ''Conditions''], [http://theory.local/text/books/alain-badiou/metapolitics/ ''Metapolitics''] and ''Logiques des mondes'' ([http://theory.local/text/books/alain-badiou/logics-of-worlds/ ''Logics of Worlds'']), many of which are now available in [[English]] [[translation]]. Badiou writes on an extraordinary array of topics, and his [[work]] has already had an impact upon studies in the [[history]] of [[philosophy]], the history and philosophy of [[science]], [[political]] philosophy, [[aesthetics]], [[psychoanalysis]], and [[ontology]]. This volume takes up the challenge of explicating, extending and, in many places, criticising Badiou’s stunningly original theses. Above all, the essays collected here put Badiou’s [[concepts]] to the [[test]] in a confrontation with the four great headings that he himself has [[identified]] as essential to our humanity: science, [[love]], art and [[politics]]. Many of the contributors have already been recognised as outstanding translators of and commentators on Badiou’s work; they appear here with fresh voices also destined to make a mark.
