Alain Badiou

Opis

Alain Badiou is probably the most widely read and influential philosophy in France today. This is his innovative reimagining of one of the most well–known and widely discussed texts in the history of philosophy – Plato′s Republic. It is not a straightforward translation of Plato′s text but rather an adaptation of it for our time.
