In Can Politics Be Thought?-published in French in 1985 and
appearing here in English for the first time-Alain Badiou offers
his most forceful and systematic analysis of the crisis of Marxism.
Distinguishing politics as an active mode of thinking from the
political as a domain of the State, Badiou argues for the
continuation of Marxist politics. In so doing, he shows why we need
to recapture the emancipatory hypothesis of Marx's original gesture
in order to actualize its radical potential. This volume also
includes Badiou's "Of an Obscure Disaster: On the End of the Truth
of the State," in which he rebuts claims of Communism's death after
the fall of the Soviet Union.
