==Book Description== | ==Book Description== | ||
+ | Between 1965 and [[1968]], the celebrated [[French]] [[philosopher]] [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] hosted a televised series in which he interviewed some of the most influential contemporary [[philosophers]] of the period, including Michel [[Foucault]], [[Paul]] [[Ricoeur]], Michel Henry and Michel Serres. This book presents the first [[English]]-[[language]] [[translation]] of those interviews. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although Badiou had yet to publish the books that would go on to mark him out as the leading thinker of his generation (''[[Being]] and [[Event]]'' and ''Logics of Worlds''), his unique approach and highly original [[ideas]] are [[present]] in each [[discussion]] and the interviews present his [[philosophical]] origins in a lively and engaging context. More importantly these highly accessible and entertaining interviews provide a snapshot of French [[philosophy]] in the 1960s, setting the [[scene]] for the very [[public]] and [[political]] context of philosophy in the period immediately preceding the events of May ’68, where philosophy played a crucial [[role]]. The book includes a new essay by Badiou in which he reflects on the [[project]] 30 years on. |
