Logics of Worlds: Being and Event II

By Alain Badiou

Book Overview

Logics of Worlds is the sequel to Alain Badiou's masterpiece, Being and Event . Tackling the questions that had been left open by Being and Event , and answering many of his critics in the process, Badiou supplements his pioneering treatment of multiple being with a daring and complex theory of the worlds in which truths and subjects make their mark - what he calls a materialist dialectic. Drawing on his most ambitious philosophical predecessors - Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Lacan, Deleuze - Badiou ends this important later work with an impassioned call to 'live for an Idea'.
