Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Badiou and Politics offers a much-anticipated interpretation of the work of the influential French philosopher Alain Badiou. Countering ideas of the philosopher as a dogmatic, absolutist, or even mystical thinker enthralled by the force of the event as a radical break, Bruno Bosteels reveals Badiouâs deep and ongoing investment in the dialectic. Bosteels draws on all of Badiouâs writings, from the philosopherâs student days in the 1960s to the present, as well as on Badiouâs exchanges with other thinkers, from his avowed âmastersâ Louis Althusser and Jacques Lacan, to interlocutors including Gilles Deleuze, Slavoj Žižek, Daniel Bensaïd, Jacques Derrida, Ernesto Laclau, and Judith Butler. Bosteels tracks the philosopherâs political activities from the events of May 1968 through his embrace of Maoism and the work he has done since the 1980s, helping to mobilize Franceâs illegal immigrants or sans-papiers. Ultimately, Bosteels argues for understanding Badiouâs thought as a revival of dialectical materialism, and he illuminates the philosopherâs understanding of the task of theory: to define a conceptual space for thinking emancipatory politics in the present.
