Description:

The perfect companion piece to Badiouâs Pocket Pantheon, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in what Badiou calls the âFrench momentâ in contemporary philosophy.From the often-quoted review of Louis Althusserâs canonical works For Marx and Reading Capital to the scathing critiques of the âpotato fascismâ in Gilles Deleuze and FÃ©lix Guattariâs Anti-Oedipus and the âgrand politicsâ of Christian Jambet and Guy Lardreauâs The Angel; from talks on Michel Foucault and Jean-Luc Nancy to reviews of the work of Jean-FranÃ§ois Lyotard and Barbara Cassin, Badiou reveals the exceptionally rich and varied adventure that is French philosophy.
