"Badiou and Politics" offers a much-anticipated interpretation of
the work of the influential French philosopher Alain Badiou.
Countering ideas of the philosopher as a dogmatic, absolutist, or
even mystical thinker enthralled by the force of the event as a
radical break, Bruno Bosteels reveals Badiou's deep and ongoing
investment in the dialectic. Bosteels draws on all of Badiou's
writings, from the philosopher's student days in the 1960s to the
present, as well as on Badiou's exchanges with other thinkers, from
his avowed "masters" Louis Althusser and Jacques Lacan, to
interlocutors including Gilles Deleuze, Slavoj Zižek, Daniel
Bensaid, Jacques Derrida, Ernesto Laclau, and Judith Butler.
Bosteels tracks the philosopher's political activities from the
events of May 1968 through his embrace of Maoism and the work he
has done since the 1980s, helping to mobilize France's illegal
immigrants or "sans-papiers." Ultimately, Bosteels argues for
understanding Badiou's thought as a revival of dialectical
materialism, and he illuminates the philosopher's understanding of
the task of theory: to define a conceptual space for thinking
emancipatory politics in the present.
