Where it came from
Part of the 'Philosophy Now' series published by Acumen, this monograph was written by Hollis Phelps to provide a rigorous, accessible introduction to the complex body of work by French philosopher Alain Badiou. Released in 2014, it emerged during a period of rising global interest in Badiou's synthesis of mathematics, politics, and ontology, aiming to bridge the gap between his dense primary texts and the needs of students or researchers navigating the intricacies of contemporary continental thought.
The book is characterized by a structural approach that guides readers through Badiou’s major conceptual shifts, specifically his departure from post-structuralism and his move toward a neo-Platonic framework. Phelps, a scholar specializing in theology and continental philosophy, designed the text to isolate the foundational tenets of Badiou’s system, such as his theory of the event and the subject. It was received as a reliable pedagogical tool for those looking to engage with Badiou’s challenging contributions to modern intellectual discourse.
