The Being and Event trilogy is the philosophical basis of Alain
Badiou's entire oeuvre. It is formed of three major texts, which
constitute a kind of metaphysical saga: Being and Event (1988). ),
Logics of the Worlds (2006) and finally The Immanence of Truths,
which he has been working on for 15 years. The new volume reverses
the perspective adopted in Logics of Worlds. Where in that book,
Badiou saw fit to analyze how truths, qua events, appear from the
perspective of particular worlds that by definition exclude them,
in The Immanence of Truths Badiou asks instead how the irruption of
truths transforms the worlds within which they by necessity must
arise. An emphasis on regularity and continuity has given way to an
attempt, one unquestionable in its philosophical power and
implications, to formalize rupture and reconfiguration. The Being
and Event trilogy is a unique and ambitious work that reveals how
truths can be at once context-specific and universal, situational
and eternal.
