The history of humanity has only just begun. The Neolithic
Revolution may have endowed us with unparalleled means of
communication, subsistence, and knowledge acquisition. However, it
is clear in today's world that inequality, power hierarchies, and
violence persist on a greater scale than ever before. In these two
lectures, delivered to the large number of young people who
gathered in the Lycee Henri-IV and the Ecole nationale des
Beaux-Arts in Paris to hear him speak, Alain Badiou argues that we
are still firmly rooted in the Neolithic era, subjugated by the
structures of political power - property, family, and state. He
calls for a second revolution to restore to each person their
freedom and agency. Through an analysis of recent attempts at
political organisation, including the Arab Spring, Occupy, and Nuit
debout, Badiou shows that progress toward this goal will only be
achieved through an emphasis on sameness, not difference. This
rallying cry to the young from one of France's most renowned
radical thinkers will appeal to the many who read and follow his
work, and to the millions of young people around the world who are
passionate about redressing the deeply entrenched inequalities and
divisions in our societies today.
