Polemics

Following Alain Badiou's acclaimed works "Ethics" and "Metapolitics," "Polemics" compiles a series of brilliant reflections which demolish established opinion and reorientate our understanding of events from the Kosovo and Iraq wars tothe Paris Commune and the Cultural Revolution. With the critical insight and polemical bravura for which he is renowned, Badiou considers the relationships between language, judgement and propaganda - and shows how propaganda has become the dominant force. Both wittily and profoundly, Badiou presents a series of radical philosophical engagements with politics, and questions what constitutes political truth.
