Badiou's entire project aims to re-educate philosophy through one science: mathematics. Laruelle carefully examines Badiou's \u003ci\u003eBeing and Event\u003c\/i\u003e and shows how Badiou has created a new aristocracy that crowns his own philosophy as the master of an entire theoretical universe. In turn, Laruelle explains the contrast with his own non-philosophy as a true democracy of thought that breaks philosophy's continual enthrall with mathematics and instead opens up a myriad of 'non-standard' places where thinking can be found and practised.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francois Laruelle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350009083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350009080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Francois Laruelle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45933845446911,"sku":"9781350009080","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_717c4974-05df-4c93-92e0-5556a5a36b26.jpg?v=1721789724","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anti-badiou-francois-laruelle-9781350009080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
