Manifesto for Philosophy (Intersections Phil Crit Theory)
W**N
Best of Badiou
Almost all of our `philosophers' (as opposed to philosophers) are in search of a diverted writing - "so that the evasive transition of a site's occupation may befall to philosophy's presumably uninhabitable place." P. 28 How nice to be listening to Francis Poulenc Marriage de Babar while reading this. Is philosophy responsible for everything - especially the "avatars of the political"? (This is very nicely written and the message clear as a bell.) I love it when he writes like this - though granted it may be a translation issue when he `does not'. "I do not claim that philosophy is possible at every moment."!!! P. 31 Four conditions of philosophy: math, poetry, political invention, and love. P.35. Some of the subsequent essays were also in the book Conditions. But there are some sequences in these that puzzle. Are sutures tie-ins? Philosophy tied in to science? Is that what he means by a suture? Further discourse on the nature of events - Lacan's work is an event? If so then I have to go back to Being and Event and reevaluate what Event means.
