  • Nietzsche

    Anti-Philosophy 1

    by Alain Badiou ...
    Translated by Bruno Bosteels, Susan Spitzer ...
    Series series The Seminars of Alain Badiou
    For Alain Badiou, Friedrich Nietzsche is the “prince” of anti-philosophy. French leftist thinkers celebrated Nietzsche in the second half of the twentieth century, but when a backlash emerged in the 1990s, Badiou refused to join the attack. Instead, he devoted his 1992–1993 seminar to an astonishingly original reading of Nietzsche—to whom he had previously shown indifference or scorn—in which he ... Read more

  • Wittgenstein's Antiphilosophy

    by Alain Badiou ...
    Translated by Bruno Bosteels ...
    Alain Badiou takes on the standard bearer of the “linguistic turn” in modern philosophy, and anatomizes the “anti-philosophy” of Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

  • Rhapsody For The Theatre

    by Alain Badiou ...
    For Alain Badiou, theatre—unlike cinema—is the place for the staging of a truly emancipatory collective subject. In this sense theatre is, of all the arts, the one strictly homologous to politics: both theatre and politics depend on a limited set of texts or statements, collectively enacted by a group of actors or militants, which put a limit on the excessive power of the state. This explains why ... Read more

  • The Age of the Poets

    And Other Writings on Twentieth-Century Poetry and Prose

    by Alain Badiou ...
    Translated by Bruno Bosteels, Emily Apter ...
    The Age of the Poets revisits the age-old problem of the relation between literature and philosophy, arguing against both Plato and Heidegger’s famous arguments. Philosophy neither has to ban the poets from the republic nor abdicate its own powers to the sole benefit of poetry or art. Instead, it must declare the end of what Badiou names the “age of the poets,” which stretches from Hölderlin to ... Read more
