In recent years there has been increased interest in three
contemporary French philosophers, all former students of Louis
Althusser and each now an influential thinker in his own right.
Alain Badiou is one of the most important living continental
thinkers, well-known for his pioneering theory of the Event.
Etienne Balibar has forged new approaches to democracy, citizenship
and what he describes as 'equaliberty'. Jacques Ranciere has
crossed boundaries between history, politics and aesthetics and his
work is beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Nick
Hewlett brings these three thinkers together, examining the
political aspects of their work. He argues that in each of their
systems there are useful and insightful elements that make real
contributions to the understanding of the modern history of
politics and to the understanding of contemporary politics. But he
also identifies and explores problems in each of Badiou, Balibar
and Ranciere's work, arguing that none offers a wholly convincing
approach.
