Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

1st Printing. 340 pages. Published in 2006. Retrospective collection of essays. One of Alain Badiou's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United Kingdom. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. There is NO American Edition. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Alain Badiou's "Polemics" in a felicitous English translation. His political and philosophical essays. "Brilliant reflections, demolishing established opinion and dominant propaganda, and re-orienting our understanding of events from the Kosovo and Iraq Wars to the Paris Commune and the Cultural Revolution. With the critical insight and polemical bravura for which he is renowned, Badiou considers the relationships between language, judgment, and propaganda, and shows how propaganda has become the dominant force" (Publisher's blurb). His philosophical approach is part mathematical (Cantor's Set Theory), part rationalist (Analytic Philosophy), and part poetic (Continental Philosophy). Were it not for Alain Badiou's revaluation of "experience" (in the historical rather than personal sense) in subsequent volumes such as "Polemics", his "Being And Event" masterwork would have been relegated to mere academicism by the constipated and self-absorbed tendentiousness of his attempt to unite Continental with British ("Anglo-American") philosophy. Instead, radical and all-encompassing, Badiou's oeuvre now towers over contemporary philosophy as a grand Romantic gesture in the manner not seen since Sartre. An absolute "must-have" title for Alain Badiou collectors. This title is a brilliant collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) still available online and despite its imperfection (rubbing on all-white DJ, a publisher's flaw) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in multiple subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest philosophers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ALAIN BADIOU TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1844670899.
