Distinguishing politics as an active mode of thinking from the political as a domain of the State, Badiou argues for the continuation of Marxist politics. In so doing, he shows why we need to recapture the emancipatory hypothesis of Marx's original gesture in order to actualize its radical potential. This volume also includes Badiou's \"Of an Obscure Disaster: On the End of the Truth of the State,\" in which he rebuts claims of Communism's death after the fall of the Soviet Union.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alain Badiou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478001666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478001669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Alain Badiou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935584715007,"sku":"9781478001669","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5889f344-1535-4bfa-94d7-8ae96eba701c.jpg?v=1681420656","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/can-politics-be-thought-alain-badiou-9781478001669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
