Recenzje

'Badiou's powerful exposition of the unfinished project of revolutionary Marxism makes a compelling case for the universality of communist politics. Elaborated with respect to pressing contemporary problems, his vision for a communist politics for us is inspiring, necessary, and - best of all - possible.' Jodi Dean, Hobart and William Smith Colleges
