Reviews

-One of the most important philosophers writing today.- --Joan Copjec -A figure like Plato or Hegel walks here among us!- --Slavoj Zizek -An heir to Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser.- --New Statesman -Badiou's sardonically compressed style is never less than pungent.- --Guardian -A thinker of tremendously invigorating moral fervour, able to rise to Swiftian scorn or fine Cocteau-like flourishes. Badiou's passionate belief in human autonomy is inspiring.- --Daily Telegraph -Scarcely any other moral thinker of our day is as politically clear-sighted and courageously polemical, so prepared to put notions of truth and universality back on the agenda.- --Terry Eagleton
