Controversies

de Alain Badiou, Jean-Claude Milner

"In this wide-ranging and compelling dialogue, Badiou and Milner explore the role of politics in today's world and consider the need for a formal theory of communist political organization. Whether they are addressing the era of revolutions, and in particular the Paris Commune and the Chinese Cultural Revolution, or discussing the infinite, the universal,the name 'Jew,' violence, capitalism, the left, or Europe, Jean-CLaude Milner's dyed-in-the-wool skepticism constantly runs up against Alain Badiou's doctrinal passion." -- rear cover.
