Description
Theory of the Subject by Alain Badiou is a foundational work that explores the relationship between Marxism and psychoanalysis. First published in France in 1982, this influential book provides a unique synthesis of structuralism, poststructuralism, and French Maoism, offering insights into the events of May 1968 and the significance of art and literature. Badiou's theory of the subject is a major contribution to Marxism, as well as to the broader debate on psychoanalysis and philosophy. This book provides a history and theory of structuralism and poststructuralism, making it an extraordinary theoretical synthesis in terms of its originality, breadth, and clarity. Available for the first time in English, this paperback edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Badiou's ideas and explore his contributions to contemporary theory, philosophy, and psychoanalysis.
