In this collection of essays, Alain Badiou revisits the age-old
problem of the relation between literature and philosophy, arguing
against both Plato and Heidegger's famous arguments. Philosophy
neither has to ban the poets from the republic nor abdicate its own
powers to the sole benefit of poetry or art. Instead, it must
declare the end of what Badiou names the "age of the poets," from
Holderlin to Celan. Drawing on ideas from his first publication on
the subject, "The Autonomy of the Aesthetic Process," Badiou also
offers an illuminating set of readings of contemporary French prose
writers, giving us fascinating insights into the theory of the
novel while also accounting for the specific position of literature
between science and ideology.
