Infinite Thought by Alain Badiou
Influenced by Plato, Lucretius, Heidegger, Lacan and Deleuze, Badiou is a critic of both the analytical and the postmodern schools of thought. His work spans the range of philosophy, from ethics, to mathematics to science, psychoanalysis, politics and art. His writing is rigorous and startling and takes no prisoners. Infinite Thought brings together a representative selection, including a revealing interview, of the range of Alain Badiou's work, illustrating the power and diversity of his thought. The book is now regarded as The place to start to understand a philosopher who is doing no less than changing the way we think about the world. Edited and translated Oliver Feltham and Justin Clemens
"Alain Badiou enacts a return to full-blown philosophy, striking as a thunder into the morass of postmodernist sophisms and platitudesHis work aims at the very heart of politically correct radical intellectuals, undermining the foundations of their mode of life!" Slavoj Zizek; "One of the most important philosophers writing today." Joan Copjec; 'The overwhelming response to Badiou has to be gratitude for his gift of a future for philosophy'. LA Times; 'There can be little doubt that Alain Badiou is the most important, powerful and unsettling philosophical voice to have emerged from the Continent in recent years. This is an intriguing selection of essays, sparsely acute in their decidedness, that provide the English-speaking reader with a compelling entry point to Badiou's work, together with his provocative views on 9/11'. Simon Critchley"
Alain Badiou (1937-) is one of the most original and powerful voices in contemporary European thought. Part of the '68 generation of French philosophers, his work promises a radical renewal of philosophy. Oliver Feltham teaches literature and theatre at Ecole Massillon, Paris.
