Pocket Pantheon: Figures of Postwar Philosophy
Author(s): Alain Badiou
In Pocket Pantheon Alain Badiou, one of today's leading political and philosophical minds, invites readers to engage with some of the great thinkers of the postwar Western tradition such as Lacan, Sartre and Foucault. Drawing on his own encounters with this pantheon - his teachers, opponents and allies - he is able to offer unique insights into both the authors and their work. These studies form an accessible, authoritative distillation of continental theory and a capsule history of a period in Western thought.
