Alain Badiou
Being and Event
Alain Badiou's "Being and Event" series explores the relationship between mathematics, set theory, and philosophy. It offers a new understanding of truth, subjectivity, and the nature of being through a rigorous examination of historical and philosophical concepts.
The series is a single, foundational philosophical work, and it is intended to be read sequentially from beginning to end. There are no prequels, novellas, or spin-offs that alter this order.
Being and Event is a central text in Alain Badiou's philosophical system, and its concepts are further developed and referenced in many of his subsequent works, such as Logics of Worlds. Understanding this series provides a crucial foundation for engaging with his broader philosophical project.
