Badiou by Badiou (Cultural memory in the present)

In this brief book, the French philosopher Alain Badiou provides readers with a unique introduction to his system of thought. Taking the form of an interview and two talks, and keeping in mind a broad audience without any prior knowledge of his work, the book touches upon the central concepts and major preoccupations of Badiou's philosophy: fundamental ontology, mathematics, politics, poetry, and love. Well-chosen examples illuminate his thinking on being and universality, worlds and singularity, and the infinite and the absolute, among other topics. A veritable tour de force of pedagogical clarity, this new student-friendly work is perhaps the single best general introduction to Badiou.
