Book Description

In his philosophical project, aesthetic orientation and political leanings, Alain Badiou is a product of, and a leading advocate for, European modeism. From the milieu of May 1968 to the contemporary ‘postmode’ ethos, Badiou retus, time and again, to avant-garde modeist texts – aesthetic, political, philosophical and scientific – as inspiration for his response to present situations. Drawing upon disciplines as varied as architecture, cinema, theatre, music, history, mathematics, poetry and philosophy, Understanding Badiou, Understanding Modeism shows how Badiou’s contribution to philosophy must be understood within the context of his decades-long conversation with modeist thinking. As with other volumes in the series, Understanding Badiou, Understanding Modeism follows a three part structure. The first section explores Badiou’s readings of aesthetic, political and scientific modeities; both introducing his system and pointing to how Badiou offers manifold readings of modeism. The middle portion of the book connects Badiou’s thought with the various strands of aesthetic, philosophical, amorous and political modeisms in relation to which it can be extended. The final section is a glossary of key concepts and categories that Badiou uses in his interface with modeism.
