Badiou is with doubt the most influential philosopher working in
Europe today - this book will provide the first detailed
introduction to "Being and Event", a hugely important, but
challenging book. Alain Badiou's "Being and Event" is the most
original and significant work of French philosophy to have appeared
in recent decades. It is the magnum opus of a thinker who is widely
considered to have reshaped the character and set new terms for the
future development of philosophy in France and elsewhere.This book
has been written very much with a view to clarifying Badiou's
complex and demanding work for non-specialist readers. It offers
guidance on: philosophical and intellectual context; key themes;
reading the text; reception and influence; and, further
reading."Continuum Reader's Guides" are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to key texts in literature and philosophy.
Each book explores the themes, context, criticism and influence of
key works, providing a practical introduction to close reading,
guiding students towards a thorough understanding of the text. They
provide an essential, up-to-date resource, ideal for undergraduate
students.
