"Alain Badiou is that rare thing: a true Philosopher. In an age of cynicism, nihilism, relativism, and the deadening suspicion of thought, Badiou remains true to the courage that characterises Philosophy from the very beginning. Casting his rational and patient eye over developments in thought, religion and mathematics, Badiou continues to grapple with the infinite in this admirably clear work. Everyone is already capable of thought, Badiou suggests, the point is to realise it." –Nina Power, Philosopher, UK
"
The Immanence of Truths completes Alain Badiou's philosophical trilogy that began with
Being and Event. It is a grand summa of years of conceptual creativity, mathematical research, political militancy in the quest for a new form of communism, and fidelity to the infinite power of art and the amorous encounter." –
Bruno Bosteels, Professor of Comparative Literature and Latin American and Iberian Cultures, Columbia University, USA
