Alain Badiou's work in philosophy, though daunting, has gained a
receptive and steadily growing Anglophone readership. What is not
well known is the extent to which Badiou's positions, vis-a-vis
ontology, ethics, politics and the very meaning of philosophy, were
hammered out in dispute with the late Jean-Francois Lyotard.
Matthew R. McLennan's Philosophy, Sophistry, Antiphilosophy is the
first work to pose the question of the relation between Lyotard and
Badiou, and in so doing constitutes a significant intervention in
the field of contemporary European philosophy by revisiting one of
its most influential and controversial forefathers. Badiou himself
has underscored the importance of Lyotard for his own project;
might the recent resurgence of interest in Lyotard be tied in some
way to Badiou's comments? Or deeper still: might not Badiou's
philosophical Platonism beg an encounter with philosophy's other,
the figure of the sophist that Lyotard played so often and so ably?
Posing pertinent questions and opening new discursive channels in
the literature on these two major figures this book is of interest
to those studying philosophy, rhetoric, literary theory, cultural
and media studies.
