Wittgenstein's Antiphilosophy, Paperback/Alain Badiou
Momentan nu sunt oferte disponibile.
Description Alain Badiou takes on the standard bearer of the "linguistic turn" in modern philosophy, and anatomizes the "anti-philosophy" of Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus . Addressing the crucial moment where Wittgenstein argues that much has to be passed over in silence--showing what cannot be said, after accepting the limits of language and meaning--Badiou argues that this mystical act reduces logic to rhetoric, truth to an effect of language games, and philosophy to a series of esoteric aphorisms. in the course of his interrogation of Wittgenstein's anti-philosophy, Badiou sets out and refines his own definitions of the universal truths that condition philosophy. Bruno Bosteels' introduction shows that this encounter with Wittgenstein is central to Badiou's overall project--and that a continuing dialogue with the exemplar of anti-philosophy is crucial for contemporary philosophy. About the Author Alain Badiou teaches philosophy at the École normale supérieure and the Collčge international de philosophie in Paris. In addition to several novels, plays and political essays, he has published a number of major philosophical works, including Theory of the Subject , Being and Event , Manifesto for Philosophy , and Gilles Deleuze . His recent books include The Meaning of Sarkozy , Ethics , Metapolitics , Polemics, The Communist Hypothesis , Five Lessons on Wagner , and Wittgenstein's Anti-Philosophy . Bruno Bosteels , Professor of Romance Studies at Cornell University, is the author of Badiou and Politics, Marx and Freud in Latin America , and The Actuality of Communism . He is also the translator of several books by Alain Badiou: Theory of the Subject, Can Politics Be Thought? and What Is Antiphilosophy? Essays on Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Lacan . He currently serves as the General Editor of Diacritics .
