Description
Alain Badiou's The Pornographic Age is a scathing critique of modern democracy and the systems that govern it. In this short, critical work, Badiou argues that any truly radical politics must begin by dismantling the corrupting influences of neoliberal capitalism.
Badiou contends that our daily lives are shaped by a pervasive debasement of political reality, which he terms "pornographic". He urges us to confront this perversity and to recognize its role in stifling true revolution. This book is a call to action, urging readers to re-examine their assumptions about the world and to consider the possibility of radical change.
Featuring an afterword from international scholars A. J. Bartlett and Justin Clemens, as well as a commentary by William Watkin, The Pornographic Age is a thought-provoking exploration of how we live and how we might live differently.
