An accessible introduction to Badiou's key ideas In this short and
accessible book, the French philosopher Alain Badiou provides
readers with a unique introduction to his system of thought, summed
up in the trilogy of Being and Event, Logics of Worlds, and The
Immanence of Truths. Taking the form of an interview and two talks
and keeping in mind a broad audience without any prior knowledge of
his work, the book touches upon the central concepts and major
preoccupations of Badiou's philosophy: fundamental ontology,
mathematics, politics, poetry, and love. Well-chosen examples
illuminate his thinking in regards to being and universality,
worlds and singularity, and the infinite and the absolute, among
other topics. A veritable tour de force of pedagogical clarity,
this new student-friendly work is perhaps the single best general
introduction to the work of this prolific and committed thinker.
If, for Badiou, the task of philosophy consists in thinking through
the truths of our time, the texts collected in this small volume
could not be timelier.
