[[Slavoj Žižek ]] is not alone in [[thinking ]] that [[Alain ]] Badiou’s [[recent ]] [[work ]] is “the [[event ]] of contemporary [[philosophy]].” ''[[Think ]] Again'', the first publication of its kind, goes a long way towards justifying his assessment. [[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]].

[[Alain Badiou ]] has devised perhaps the only truly inventive philosophy of the [[subject ]] since [[Sartre]]. Almost alone among his peers, Badiou’s work promises a genuine renewal of philosophy, a subject he sees as conditioned by innovation in spheres ranging from radical politics to artistic experimentation to [[mathematical ]] [[formalization]].
