This book on Alain Badiou's philosophy begins with a central theme:
the attempt to trace how Badiou has replaced the tradition of
critical theory and negation with an affirmative support of his
four generic procedures (art, science, love, and art) as
inseparable from his revitalization of both the subject and the
concept of truth. By defining four procedures as conditions of
philosophy, Badiou makes the attempt to establish each as
inter-related and systematically necessary to make a new proposal
for thought. The fidelity to Badiou's project for the 21st century,
however, requires a fundamental examination: are his four truths
complicated by an inescapable dilemma? And if so, can the four
truths be retained, as a whole, or does the individual reader have
to make a decision that will alter Badiou's project and
conclusions? By presenting the dilemmas of his thought, the
scholarly reader will be in a position to then pursue the necessary
study to come to their own conclusions and, by doing so, become
sufficiently free to resist the many coercions of social and
political life in liberal democracies today.
