Badiou's entire project aims to re-educate philosophy through one science: mathematics. Laruelle carefully examines Badiou's \u003ci\u003eBeing and Event\u003c\/i\u003e and shows how Badiou has created a new aristocracy that crowns his own philosophy as the master of an entire theoretical universe. In turn, Laruelle explains the contrast with his own non-philosophy as a true democracy of thought that breaks philosophy's continual enthrall with mathematics and instead opens up a myriad of 'non-standard' places where thinking can be found and practised.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Mackay is a philosopher and director of the UK arts organisation Urbanomic.
