Alain Badiou is undoubtedly the most exciting and influential voice
in contemporary French philosophy and one of the most important
theorists at work today. His impact on continental philosophy and
the wider philosophy community, politics and the arts in the last
twenty years has been immense. Alain Badiou: Live Theory offers a
concise and accessible introduction to his work and thought, laying
out the central themes of his major works, including his magnum
opus, Being and Event, and its long-awaited sequel, Logics of
Worlds. Oliver Feltham explores the fundamental questions through
which Badiou's philosophy constantly evolves, identifies the key
turning points in his ideas, and makes a clear case for the
coherence and powerful singularity of his thought when employed in
the analysis of political and artistic situations. Feltham examines
the thinkers and theorists with whom Badiou has engaged and who
have engaged with him, arguing that Badiou's work is compelling
precisely because it opens up new genealogies and new polemics in
the intellectual landscape. The book includes a brand new interview
with Badiou, in which he discusses his current concerns and future
plans. This is the ideal companion to study for students and
readers encountering this fascinating thinker for the first time.
