Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index 330 8 $aIn recent years there has been increased interest in three contemporary French philosophers, all former students of Louis Althusser and each now an influential thinker in his own right. Alain Badiou is one of the most important living continental thinkers, well-known for his pioneering theory of the Event. Etienne Balibar has forged new approaches to democracy, citizenship and what he describes as 'equaliberty'. Jacques Rancie?re has crossed boundaries between history, politics and aesthetics and his work is beginning to receive the attention it deserves. Nick Hewlett brings these three thinkers together, examining the political aspects of their work. He argues that in each of their systems there are useful and insightful elements that make real contributions to the understanding of the modern history of politics and to the understanding of contemporary politics. But he also identifies and explores problems in each of Badiou, Balibar and Rancie?re's work, arguing that none offers a wholly convincing approach. This is a must-have for students of contemporary continental philosophy 410 0$aContinuum studies in Continental philosophy. 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $2Social & political philosophy 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aEquality 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aEquality. 676 $a320.092/244 700 $aHewlett$b Nick$0594045 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780804203321 996 $aBadiou, Balibar, Ranciere$93701223 997 $aUNINA
