Summary note
"An accessible introduction to Badiou's key ideas In this brief conversational book, the French philosopher Alain Badiou provides readers with a unique introduction to his system of thought, summed up in the trilogy of Being and Event, Logics of Worlds, and The Immanence of Truths. Taking the form of an interview and two talks and keeping in mind a broad audience without any prior knowledge of his work, the book touches upon all the major concepts of Badiou's philosophy and illustrates them with fitting examples. A veritable tour de force of pedagogical clarity, this is perhaps the single best general introduction to the work of this prolific and committed thinker. If, for Badiou, the task of philosophy consists in thinking through the truths of our time, the texts collected in this small volume could not be timelier"-- Provided by publisher.
Contains an interview with Alain Badiou, held June 18, 2019 in Paris and two lectures: "Philosophy between mathematics and poetry" given May 9, 2019 in Brussels and "Ontology and mathematics" given June 17, 2019 at the American University of Paris.
