Logics of Worlds : Being and Event II

"Logics of Worlds" is the sequel to Alain Badiou's masterpiece, "Being and Event". Tackling the questions that had been left open by "Being and Event", and answering many of his critics in the process, Badiou supplements his pioneering treatment of multiple being with a daring and complex theory of the worlds in which truths and subjects make their mark - what he calls a materialist dialectic. Drawing on his most ambitious philosophical predecessors - Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Lacan, Deleuze - Badiou ends this important later work with an impassioned call to 'live for an Idea'.
