[[Badiou]] is [[nothing]] if not polemical and the most suitable way to approach his philosophy is precisely through the controversies it creates. This book, which opens with an introduction aimed at readers new to Badiou’s work, presents a range of essays which explore Badiou’s most contentious claims in the fields of [[ontology]], [[politics]], [[ethics]] and [[aesthetics]]. | ||
