The Being and Event trilogy is the philosophical basis of Alain Badiou's entire oeuvre. It is formed of three major texts, which constitute a kind of metaphysical saga: Being and Event (1988). ), Logics of the Worlds (2006) and finally The Immanence of Truths, which he has been working on for 15 years. The new volume reverses the perspective adopted in Logics of Worlds. Where in that book, Badiou saw fit to analyze how truths, qua events, ap...

Gegenwartspolitik gibt es nur mit denen, die zu uns gekommen sind und das universale nomadische Proletariat repräsentieren." Alain Badiou untersucht in Auseinandersetzung mit philosophischen, politischen und dichterischen Texten - unter anderem Derridas Von der Gastfreundschaft und Chamoiseaus Migranten -, wie es aktuell um die Sache des universalen nomadischen Proletariats steht. Ausgehend von dem französischen Phänomen der Gelbwesten und der...

Die Corona-Krise ist weder der verheißungsvolle Beginn eines gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs noch etwas prinzipiell Neues. Aber sie verweist auf die Dringlichkeit eines radikalen Wandels im politischen Denken und Handeln. Für Alain Badiou offenbart die aktuelle Krise in aller Deutlichkeit den Widerspruch, der heute zwischen der globalisierten Wirtschaft und der weitgehend national orientierten Politik besteht. Auch wenn die Staaten in der Krise ge...

Discussing the limits of political philosophy, this is a follow-up to "Ethics". This work argues that one of the main tasks of contemporary thought is to abolish the idea that politics is merely an object for philosophical reflection. It proposes the consideration of politics in terms of the production of truth and the affirmation of equality.

The question of migration has come to dominate the news agenda in many countries, but what does the word 'migrant' really mean today and how should we respond to those who are labelled 'migrants'? In this short book Alain Badiou argues that our way of thinking about migration should be governed both by an ethical duty to welcome the migrant in the name of hospitality and also by the urgent need to put an end to the global capitalist oligarchy ...

Alain Badiou is arguably the most significant philosopher in Europe today. Badiou's seminars, given annually on major conceptual and historical topics, constitute an enormously important part of his work. They served as laboratories for his thought and public illuminations of his complex ideas yet remain little known. This book, the transcript of Badiou's year-long seminar on the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, is the first volume of h...

Perché un grande filosofo dovrebbe scrivere un libro su Beckett? Semplicemente, per sorprenderci con qualcosa di inedito. In poche e precise pennellate, Badiou ci offre un Beckett senza angoscia né disperazione, un Beckett maestro di misura e coraggio che tenta di "conoscere la felicità". Il breve testo di Badiou diventa, così, un piccolo trattato di filosofia delle passioni (amore, coraggio, desiderio) che prende forma attraverso una lettura ...

The notion of 'the end' has long occupied philosophical thought. In light of the horrors of the twentieth century, some writers have gone so far as to declare the end of philosophy itself, emphasizing the impossibility of thinking after Auschwitz. In this book the distinguished philosopher Alain Badiou, in dialogue with Giovanbattista Tusa, argues that we must renounce 'the pathos of completion' and continue to think philosophically. To accep...

Alain Badiou meldet sich erneut mit zwei kämpferischen Texten zur aktuellen politische Lage zu Wort und nimmt sich vor, wie einst Sokrates die Jugend zu verderben. Das heißt in diesem Fall, ihr wenn nicht die Mittel, so doch das Verlangen zu geben, die Welt zu verändern. In seiner flammenden "Rede an die Jugend" stellt Badiou die für jede emanzipative Politik entscheidende Frage, inwieweit die Annahme der universellen Gleichheit aller Mensche...
