Regular price
€18.50
Alain Badiou takes on the standard bearer of the "linguistic turn" in modern philosophy and anatomizes the "antiphilosophy" of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In the course of his interrogation of Wittgenstein's thinking, Badiou refines his own definitions of the universal truths that govern his work. Bruno Bosteels's introduction argues that a continuing dialogue with Wittgenstein is inescapable for contemporary philosophy.
Alain Badiou teaches philosophy at the E´cole normale supérieure and the Collège international de philosophie in Paris. His recent books include Ethics, Metapolitics, Polemics, The Communist Hypothesis, and Five Lessons on Wagner.
