Badiou and Politics by Bruno Bosteels (English) Paperback Book

Description: Badiou and Politics by Bruno Bosteels Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Argues for understanding Badious thought as a revival of dialectical materialism Publisher 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 Badious deep and ongoing investment in the dialectic. Bosteels draws on all of Badious writings, from the philosophers student days in the 1960s to the present, as well as on Badious exchanges with other thinkers, from his avowed "masters" Louis Althusser and Jacques Lacan, to interlocutors including Gilles Deleuze, Slavoj Zizek, Daniel Bensaid, Jacques Derrida, Ernesto Laclau, and Judith Butler. Bosteels tracks the philosophers 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 Frances illegal immigrants or sans-papiers. Ultimately, Bosteels argues for understanding Badious thought as a revival of dialectical materialism, and he illuminates the philosophers understanding of the task of theory: to define a conceptual space for thinking emancipatory politics in the present. Author Biography Bruno Bosteels is Professor of Romance Studies at Cornell University. He is the author of several books, including Alain Badiou, une trajectoire polémique and The Actuality of Communism, and the translator of Theory of the Subject and Wittgensteins Antiphilosophy, both by Alain Badiou.
