For Badiou serves both as an introduction to the influential French philosopher Alain Badiou s thought and as an in-depth examination of his work. Ruda begins with a thorough and clear outline of the sometimes difficult main tenets of Badiou s philosophy. He then traces the philosophers throughout Western thought who have influenced Badiou s project especially Plato, Descartes, Hegel, and Marx and on whose work Badiou has developed his provocative philosophy. Ruda draws from Badiou s oeuvre a series of directives with regard to renewing philosophy for the twenty-first century. For Badiou continues the interrogations of its subject and raises new materialistic and dialectical questions for the next generation of engaged philosophers. "
