+ | ''The [[Concept]] of Model ''is the first of [[Alain]] Badiou’s early books to be translated fully into [[English]]. With this publication English readers finally have access to a crucial [[work]] by one of the world’s greatest [[living]] [[philosophers]]. Written on the eve of the events of May [[1968]],'' The Concept of [[Model]]'' provides a solid [[mathematical]] basis for a rationalist [[materialism]]. Badiou’s concept of model distinguishes itself from both [[logical]] [[positivism]] and [[empiricism]] by introducing a new [[form]] of break into the hitherto implicated realms of [[science]] and [[ideology]], and establishing a new way to [[understand]] their disjunctive relation. Readers coming to [[Badiou]] for the first [[time]] will be struck by the clarity and force of his presentation, and the key [[place]] that ''The Concept of Model ''[[enjoys]] in the overall [[development]] of Badiou’s [[thought]] will enable readers already familiar with his work to discern the lineaments of his later radical developments. This [[translation]] is accompanied by a stunning new interview with Badiou in which he elaborates on the connections between his early and most [[recent]] thought. |
