Logics of Worlds stands as one of the most important texts in
contemporary thought. Conceived as the sequel to Alan Badiou's
Being and Event, the book expands upon and elucidates the questions
that were posed in the first book. As a complex theory of worlds,
the text has, for the most part, been misunderstood, but in William
Watkin's diligent and critical close reading of the book, he makes
the case for Logics of Worlds being the essential Badiou book for
anyone interested in existence, meaning and the potential for
radical change. For Watkin, this recasting of ontology is followed
by a transformation of logic, which is not only a theory of being,
but of appearing and allows Badiou to give new meaning to the
object, body and relation. To do this, he explores these concepts
through architecture, astronomy and renowned thinkers such as Kant,
Hegel and Kierkegaard. For students of French Continental
philosophy, ontology and Badiou himself, Watkin's commentary on the
philosopher's text provides a brilliant and incisive new
interpretation of this underrated work by the leading Continental
philosopher of our time.
