Reviews

This book is perversely brilliant in its eclecticism. The authors thread their way through the topics of contemporaneity, time, the Event, and truth/Truth, swerving between Badiou, Deleuze, and Lacan. In the process of this tour de force, they take in much of the landscape of contemporary philosophy and anti-philosophy.--Henry Krips, Claremont Graduate University This is a fierce ride through the tangled relations of Lacan, Deleuze and Badiou. Readers will thrill to its edginess, intuitions, learning and irreverence. It would be easy to be thrown, though, hurt and bemused by a wild swirl of ideas. Inspect it warily, before mounting only if it suits.--James Williams, University of Dundee
