Summary

The perfect companion piece to Badiou'¬"s Pocket Pantheon, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in what Badiou calls the '¬SFrench moment'¬ in contemporary philosophy. From the often-quoted review of Louis Althusser'¬"s canonical works For Marx and Reading Capital to the scathing critiques of the '¬Spotato fascism'¬ in Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari'¬"s Anti-Oedipus and the '¬Sgrand politics'¬ of Christian Jambet and Guy Lardreau'¬"s The Angel; from talks on Michel Foucault and Jean-Luc Nancy to reviews of the work of Jean-François Lyotard and Barbara Cassin, Badiou reveals the exceptionally rich and varied adventure that is French philosophy.

Author Biography

Alain Badiou teaches philosophy at the École normale supérieure and the Collège international de philosophie in Paris. In addition to several novels, plays and political essays, he has published a number of major philosophical works, including Theory of the Subject, Being and Event, Manifesto for Philosophy, and Gilles Deleuze. His recent books include The Meaning of Sarkozy, Ethics, Metapolitics, Polemics, The Communist Hypothesis, Five Lessons on Wagner, and Wittgenstein’s Anti-Philosophy.

Bruno Bosteels, Professor of Romance Studies at Cornell University, is the author of Badiou and Politics, Marx and Freud in Latin America, and The Actuality of Communism. He is also the translator of several books by Alain Badiou: Theory of the Subject, Can Politics Be Thought? and What Is Antiphilosophy? Essays on Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Lacan. He currently serves as the General Editor of Diacritics.
