Philosophy redefined against modern critiques.
If philosophy dazzles you but seems tangled in obscurity, Badiou's "Conditions" is like a compass in a conceptual wilderness. It's not just about refurbishing old concepts; it's a bold trek through poetry, mathematics, politics, and love, establishing a contemporary relevance. For thinkers yearning for intellectual rigor with a touch of existential zest, "Conditions" might just reshape your understanding of philosophical discourse itself.

Description
Beginning with a sustained critique of the so-called 'end of philosophy', Badiou goes on to propose a new definition of philosophy, one that is tested with respect to both its origin, in Plato, and its contemporary state. The essays that follow are ordered according to what Badiou sees as the four great conditions of philosophy and poetry, philosophy and mathematics, philosophy and politics, and philosophy and love. Conditions provides an illuminating reworking of all the major theories in Being and Event. In so doing, Badiou not only develops the complexity of the concepts central to Being and Event but also adds new ones to his already formidable arsenal. The essays in Conditions reveal the extraordinary and systematic nature of Badiou's philosophical enterprise.
