Drawing upon disciplines as varied as architecture, cinema, theatre, music, history, mathematics, poetry and philosophy, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Badiou, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Badiou's contribution to philosophy must be understood within the context of his decades-long conversation with modernist thinking. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs with other volumes in the series, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Badiou, Understanding Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e follows a three part structure. The first section explores Badiou's readings of aesthetic, political and scientific modernities; both introducing his system and pointing to how Badiou offers manifold readings of modernism. The middle portion of the book connects Badiou's thought with the various strands of aesthetic, philosophical, amorous and political modernisms in relation to which it can be extended. The final section is a glossary of key concepts and categories that Badiou uses in his interface with modernism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arka Chattopadhyay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501384406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501384400\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 06\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Arka Chattopadhyay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052537565439,"sku":"9781501384400","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e009d4d-8462-4216-a31e-5b9a21b39d64.jpg?v=1723556678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-badiou-understanding-modernism-arka-chattopadhyay-9781501384400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
