Description
Martin Heidegger was an ordinary Nazi and a loyal member of the provincial petty bourgeoisie. He was also a seminal thinker of the Continental tradition and one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. How are we to make sense of this mix? Should we factor Heidegger's domestic and political associations into our understanding of his thought, or should we treat his intellectual work independently of his abhorrent politics? How does any...

Un ensayo contundente por y para la juventud de la mano de uno de los más grandes filósofos contemporáneos.

No hay muchos filósofos vivos en Francia hoy en día, aunque haya más que en otros países, por cierto. Digamos que alcanzan los dedos de ambas manos para contarlos.

"El siglo XX ha sido juzgado y condenado: siglo del terror totalitario, de las ideologías utópicas y criminales, de las ilusiones vacías, de los genocidios, de las falsas vanguardias, de la abstracción como sustituto ubicuo del realismo democrático. No deseo abogar por un acusado que sabe defenderse solo. Tampoco quiero, como Frantz, el héroe de la pieza de Sartre Los secuestrados de Altona, proclamar: 'Me eché el siglo al hombro y dije: ¡Responderé...

Prompted by the thirtieth anniversary of the French philosopher Jacques Lacan's death, this exchange between two prominent intellectuals is rich with surprising insights. Alain Badiou shares the clearest, most detailed account to date of his profound indebtedness to Lacanian psychoanalysis.

Description
Alain Badiou is arguably the most significant philosopher in Europe today. Badiou's seminars, given annually on major conceptual and historical topics, constitute an enormously important part of his work. They served as laboratories for his thought and public illuminations of his complex ideas yet remain little known.
