{"product_id":"badiou-and-the-philosophers-alain-badiou-9781441184856","title":"Badiou and the Philosophers: Interrogating 1960s French Philosophy","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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlthough Badiou had yet to publish the books that would go on to mark him out as the leading thinker of his generation (\u003ci\u003eBeing and Event \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLogics of Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e), 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alain Badiou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441184856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441184856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014","brand":"Alain Badiou","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425260749055,"sku":"9781441184856","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6dc45339-c835-4ac2-afbf-d47b09ee12f9.jpg?v=1761538043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/badiou-and-the-philosophers-alain-badiou-9781441184856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
