This title is a concise and accessible introduction to this key
theorist.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 exciting 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.
