Swimming against the tide of postmodern orthodoxy, Badiou's work revitalizes philosophy's perennial attempt to provide a systematic theory of truth. This volume presents for the first time in English a comprehensive overview of Badiou's ambitious system. Beginning with Badiou's controversial assertion that ontology is mathematics, this volume sets out his theory of the emergence of truths from the singular relationship between a subject and an event. Also included is a substantial extract from Badiou's forthcoming work on the logics of appearance and the concept of world, presented here in advance of its French publication. Ranging from startling re-readings of canonical figures (Spinoza, Kant and Hegel) to decisive engagements with poetry, psychoanalysis and radical politics, Theoretical Writings is an indispensable introduction to one of the great thinkers of our time. The volume also features a preface written by the author especially for this collection 410 0$aAthlone contemporary European thinkers. 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $2Philosophy 606 $aMethodology 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aMethodology. 676 $a194 700 $aBadiou$b Alain$044535 702 $aBrassier$b Ray 702 $aToscano$b Alberto 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824614703321 996 $aTheoretical writings$94127979 997 $aUNINA
