| Summary: | Approaching Alain Badiou as a militant thinker committed to diagnosing political disorders of his time and waging theoretical battles to advance the communist hypothesis, this book focuses on political revolt and philosophical pursuit of true life in Badiou's work. It explores the development of Badiou's thinking from figures like Lacan and Althusser but also places him in dialogue with contemporary thinkers. Aspiring to thinking with Badiou, Gordienko provides commentary on the philosopher's canonical texts, exploring the relevance of his ideas to the latest political developments such as the Trump election and 'the dream of the lockdown' during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
