Notes
Alain Badiou, former Maoist and political activist, is a
philosopher, mathematician and novelist. He lives in Paris.
Peter Engelmann is a publisher, philosopher and editor
of numerous texts by French philosophers in the areas of
postmodernism and deconstruction.
‘Badiou's powerful exposition of the unfinished project of
revolutionary Marxism makes a compelling case for the universality
of communist politics. Elaborated with respect to pressing
contemporary problems, his vision for a communist politics for us
is inspiring, necessary, and – best of all – possible.’
Jodi Dean, Hobart and William Smith Colleges
“[a] lively and engaging discussion.”
