'These essays explicate, critique, and extend key ideas in the political thought of Alain Badiou. That achievement alone makes the collection important.

'These essays explicate, critique, and extend key ideas in the political thought of Alain Badiou. That achievement alone makes the collection important. The breadth and clarity of the contributions - which take up art, music, psychoanalysis, and love as well as biopolitics, militancy, revolution, and communism - make it necessary.' Jodi Dean, author of The Communist Horizon Rethinks the singularity of the political condition in the wake of Badiou's philosophical rupture The essays in this volume, including a new piece by Badiou himself, reflect the formative traditions that shape the background of his political thought. They intervene critically and evaluate the present state of Badiou's work, while also breaking new ground and creating new thresholds of political thought. It includes a range of established scholars and rising theorists of the Badiou-effect. Each engages with the critical question of 'how to transmit the exception' politically, at the intersection of contemporary anti-imperial polemics and debates that strike at the heart of the post-modern condition (Lyotard), deconstruction (Derrida), psychoanalysis (Lacan - Zizek), biopolitics (Hardt and Negri) and pedagogy (Rancière). Marios Constantinou received his PhD from the New School for Social Research in New York. He is currently an Independent Researcher.
