Badiou and Politics offers a muchanticipated interpretation of the work of the influential French philosopher Alain Badiou. Countering ideas of the philosopher as a dogmatic, absolutist, or even mystical thinker enthralled by the force of the event as a radical break, Bruno Bosteels reveals Badious deep and ongoing investment in the dialectic. Bosteels draws on all of Badious writings, from the philosophers student days in the 1960s to the present, as well as on Badious exchanges with other thinkers, from his avowed masters Louis Althusser and Jacques Lacan, to interlocutors including Gilles Deleuze, Slavoj iek, Daniel Bensad, Jacques Derrida, Ernesto Laclau, and Judith Butler. Bosteels tracks the philosophers political activities from the events of May 1968 through his embrace of Maoism and the work he has done since the 1980s, helping to mobilize Frances illegal immigrants or sanspapiers. Ultimately, Bosteels argues for understanding Badious thought as a revival of dialectical materialism, and he illuminates the philosophers understanding of the task of theory: to define a conceptual space for thinking emancipatory politics in the present.
