Badiou is widely considered to be France's most important and
exciting contemporary thinker. Much of Badiou's earlier work
(including "Being and Event") can only be fully understood with a
clear grasp of "Theory of the Subject", one of his most important
works."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 including a new preface by the
author, this is a must-read for anyone interested in this lively
and highly original thinker.
