{"product_id":"for-badiou-frank-ruda-9780810130975","title":"For Badiou: Idealism Without Idealism","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor Badiou serves both as an introduction to the influential French philosopher Alain Badiou's thought and as an in-depth examination of his work. Ruda begins with a thorough and clear outline of the sometimes difficult main tenets of Badiou's philosophy. He then traces the philosophers throughout Western thought who have influenced Badiou's project--especially Plato, Descartes, Hegel, and Marx--and on whose work Badiou has developed his provocative philosophy. Ruda draws from Badiou's oeuvre a series of directives with regard to renewing philosophy for the twenty-first century. For Badiou continues the interrogations of its subject and raises new materialistic and dialectical questions for the next generation of engaged philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Ruda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810130971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810130975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.82w x 0.29d","brand":"Frank Ruda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065162739967,"sku":"9780810130975","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbe08707-6332-4328-9f76-264cc7a813ab.jpg?v=1768673404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-badiou-frank-ruda-9780810130975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
