| Summary: |
This concise and accessible book is the perfect introduction to Badiouʹs thought. Responding to Tarbyʹs questions, Badiou takes us on a journey that interrogates and explores the four conditions of philosophy: politics, love, art and science. In all these domains, events occur that bring to light possibilities that were invisible or even unthinkable; they propose something to us. Everything then depends on how the possibility opened up by the event is grasped, elaborated and embedded in the world -- this is what Badiou calls a "truth procedure". The event creates a possibility but there then has to be an effort -- a group effort in the case of politics, an individual effort in the case of love or art -- for this possibility to become real and inscribed in the world. -- Publisher description. |
