This is the first complete English translation of the work that
immediately followed Badiou's magnum opus, "Being and Event" in
which Badiou provides an overview of what he sees as the four great
conditions of philosophy - this book is therefore central to an
understanding of Badiou's whole philosophical project.Alain Badiou
is without doubt the most important and influential thinker working
in European philosophy today. "Conditions" is the first major
collection of essays written after "Being and Event", his
extraordinary magnum opus.Beginning with a sustained critique of
the so-called 'end of philosophy', the book goes on to propose a
new definition of philosophy, one that is tested with respect to
both its origin, in Plato, and its contemporary state. The essays
that follow are ordered according to what Badiou sees as the four
great conditions of philosophy: philosophy and poetry, philosophy
and mathematics, philosophy and politics, and philosophy and love.
Conditions provides an illuminating reworking of all the major
theories in "Being and Event". In so doing, Badiou not only
develops the complexity of the concepts central to "Being and
Event" but also adds new ones to his already formidable arsenal.
The essays contained within "Conditions" reveal the extraordinary
and systematic nature of Badiou's philosophical enterprise.
