A
philosophical guidebook for the struggles to come
An urgent and
provocative account of the modern ‘militant’, a transformative
figure at the front line of emancipatory politics. Around the world,
recent events have seen the creation of a radical phalanx comprising
students, the young, workers and immigrants. It is Badiou’s
contention that the politics of such militants should condition the
tasks of philosophy, even as philosophy clarifies the truth of our
political condition.
To resolve
the conflicts between politics, philosophy and democracy, Badiou
argues for a resurgent communism – returning to the original call
for universal emancipation and organizing for militant struggle.
