| Abstract | "In his philosophical project, aesthetic orientation and political leanings, Alain Badiou is a product of, and a leading advocate for, European modernism. From the milieu of May 1968 to the contemporary 'postmodern' ethos, Badiou returns, time and again, to avant-garde modernist texts - aesthetic, political, philosophical and scientific - as inspiration for his response to present situations. This volume explores Badiou's readings of aesthetic, political and scientific modernities, connects Badiou's thought with the various strands of aesthetic, philosophical, amorous and political modernisms, and includes a glossary of Badiou's key concepts and categories"-- Provided by publisher. |
