Theory of the Subject, first published in France in 1982, is
without doubt one of Alain Badiou's most important works, laying
many of the foundations for his magnum opus, Being and Event. Here
Badiou seeks to provide a theory of the subject for Marxism through
a study of Lacanian psychoanalysis, offering a major contribution
to Marxism, as well as to the larger debate regarding the
relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy. The book also
provides a history and theory of structuralism and
poststructuralism, a unique evaluation of the achievements of
French Maoism during the 1970s and the significance of the events
of May 1968, and breathtaking analyses of art and literature. As a
theoretical synthesis, the book is extraordinary in terms of its
originality, breadth and clarity. This is arguably Badiou's most
creative and passionate book, encompassing the entire battlefield
of contemporary theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis. Available
for the first time in English and now in paperback, this is a
must-read for anyone interested in this lively and highly original
thinker.
