[[Alain ]] [[Badiou ]] is arguably the most original and influential [[philosopher ]] [[working ]] in [[France ]] today. Working against the tide of [[postmodern ]] orthodoxy, Badiou revitalizes philosophy’s perennial attempt to provide a systematic [[theory ]] of [[truth]].

''[[Theoretical ]] Writings ''presents, in Badiou’s own [[words]], ‘the theoretical core of [his] Philosophy’. Beginning with the controversial assertion that [[ontology ]] is [[mathematics]], the chapters step the reader through his key [[concepts ]] of [[being]], [[subject ]] and truth via startling re-readings of canonical [[figures ]] including [[Spinoza]], [[Kant ]] and [[Hegel ]] and engagements with [[poetry]], [[psychoanalysis ]] and radical [[politics]]. ''Theoretical Writings'' is an indispensable introduction to one of the great thinkers of our [[time]].
