Alain Badiou
Alain Badiou (1937), wellicht de belangrijkste Franse filosoof van deze tijd, is emeritus-hoogleraar aan de cole normale sup rieure in Parijs.
Samenvatting
The renowned French philosophers ode to loves power to unite in the face of eternity, and its optimism in the face of pain (Publishers Weekly).
In a world rife with consumerism, where online dating promises risk-free romance and love is all too often seen as a mere variant of desire and hedonism, Alain Badiou believes that love is under threat. Taking to heart Rimbauds famous line love needs reinventing, In Praise of Love is the celebrated French intellectuals passionate treatise in defense of love.
For Badiou, love is an existential project, a constantly unfolding quest for truth. This quest begins with the chance encounter, an event that forever changes two individuals, challenging them to see the world from the point of view of two rather than one. This, Badiou believes, is loves most essential transforming power.
Through thought-provoking dialogue edited from a conversation between Badiou and Truong, a vibrant cast of thinkers are invoked: Kierkegaard, Plato, de Beauvoir, Proust, and more, create a new narrative of love in the face of twenty-first-century modernity. Moving, zealous, and wise, Badious paean to the anticapitalist, antiessentialist, unifying power of love urges us not to fear it but to see it as a magnificent undertaking that compels us to explore others and to move away from an obsession with ourselves ( Publishers Weekly).
Finally, the cure for the pornographic, utilitarian exchange of favors to which love has been reduced in America. Alain Badiou is our philosopher of love. Simon Critchley, author of The Faith of the Faithless
