Distinguishing politics as an active mode of thinking from the political as a domain of the State, Badiou argues for the continuation of Marxist politics. In so doing, he shows why we need to recapture the emancipatory hypothesis of Marx's original gesture in order to actualize its radical potential. This volume also includes Badiou's \"Of an Obscure Disaster: On the End of the Truth of the State,\" in which he rebuts claims of Communism's death after the fall of the Soviet Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlain Badiou is René Descartes Chair and Professor of Philosophy at The European Graduate School and the author of numerous books, including \u003ci\u003eBeing and Event\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTheory of the Subject\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eEthics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bruno Bosteels is Professor in the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures and the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52716317409587,"sku":"9781478001669","price":47.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Vk0vOTh6SGNRWWY5elNqdFAxN3FiQT09.webp?v=1763607838","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/can-politics-be-thought-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
