Metapolitics by Alain Badiou
A follow-up to "Ethics", this book discusses the limits of political philosophy. It argues against the idea that politics is merely an object for philosophical reflection, an approach that reduces politics to a matter of opinion, eliminating any of its truly radical and emancipatory possibilities.
One of the most important philosophers writing today-- Joan Copjec
Alain Badiou teaches philosophy at the École normale supérieure and the Collège international de philosophie in Paris. He is the author of several seminal works, including Theory of the Subject, Being and Event and Manifesto for Philosophy. His recent books include The Meaning of Sarkozy, and The Communist Hypothesis.
