SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Alain Badiou's Being and Event is the most original and significant work of French philosophy to have appeared in recent decades. It is the magnum opus of a thinker who is widely considered to have re-shaped the character and set new terms for the future development of philosophy in France and elsewhere. This book has been written very much with a view to clarifying Badiou's complex and demanding work for non-specialist readers. It offers guidance on:. - Philosophical and intellectual context. - Key themes. - Reading the text. - Reception and influence. - Further reading.
