For over a century, Richard Wagner's music has been the subject of
intense debate among philosophers, many of whom have attacked its
ideological-some say racist and reactionary-underpinnings. In this
major new work, Alain Badiou, radical philosopher and keen Wagner
enthusiast, offers a detailed reading of the critical responses to
the composer's work, which include Adorno's writings on the
composer and Wagner's recuperation by Nazism as well as more recent
readings by Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and others. Slavoj Zizek
provides an afterword, and both philosophers make a passionate case
for re-examining the relevance of Wagner to the contemporary world.
