Alain Badiou is arguably the most significant philosopher in Europe
today. Badiou's seminars, given annually on major conceptual and
historical topics, constitute an enormously important part of his
work. They served as laboratories for his thought and public
illuminations of his complex ideas yet remain little known. This
book, the transcript of Badiou's year-long seminar on the
psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, is the first volume of his
seminars to be published in English, opening up a new and vital
aspect of his thinking. In a highly original and compelling account
of Lacan's theory and therapeutic practice, Badiou considers the
challenge that Lacan poses to fundamental philosophical topics such
as being, the subject, and truth. Badiou argues that Lacan is a
singular figure of the "anti-philosopher," a series of thinkers
stretching back to Saint Paul and including Kierkegaard and
Nietzsche, with Lacan as the last great anti-philosopher of
modernity. The book offers a forceful reading of an enigmatic yet
foundational thinker and sheds light on the crucial role that Lacan
plays in Badiou's own thought. This seminar, more accessible than
some of Badiou's more difficult works, will be profoundly valuable
for the many readers across academic disciplines, art and
literature, and political activism who find his thought essential.
