Alain Badiou's 'Abrégé de métapolitique' Revisits Intellectual Resistance
Philosopher Alain Badiou's latest book, 'Abrégé de métapolitique', reexamines the relationship between thought and politics. The work draws on two French intellectual figures: philosopher Georges Canguilhem and mathematician Jean Cavaillès. Badiou had previously addressed the danger of intellectual disarmament in his 1985 book 'Penser la politique' and his 1993 book 'L'Éthique'. The new publication continues this line of inquiry.
