Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"One of the most important philosophers writing today." Joan Copjec "Scarcely any other moral thinker of our day is as politically clear-sighted and courageously polemical, so prepared to put notions of truth and universality back on the agenda.... Badiou has launched a transformative new intervention, which deserves to provoke a persisting response." Terry Eagleton "Badiou is at his strongest in pointing to the inconsistencies of a facile multiculturalism, the pluralism of the food court and the shopping mall, which wilts in the face of any genuine expression of cultural hostility to liberal values." Radical Philosophy "A book that aims at the very heart of politically correct "radical" intellectuals, undermining the foundations of their very mode of life!" Slavoj Zizek" Read more...
