Description
What is the relation between politics and the world? It might seem that global capitalism has created one world, but this is an illusion because capitalism creates a world of objects and money that divides human existence into regions separated by fences and walls built to keep some people out. In place of this falsely unified world of global capitalism, we need to assert a fundamental principle – namely, that there is one world of living subjects. This, in Badiou's view, is the categorical imperative of all true politics.
The one world of living subjects is the place where an infinity of differences and identities exist. Hence, foreigners are not a problem but rather an opportunity and a gift. They bear witness to the youth of the world in its infinite variety, and it is with this youth that the politics of the future rests. Foreignness is the means by which existence is re-evaluated, and all true politics is a new dawn of existence.
This collection of essays by Badiou, in which he draws out the political implications of recent events and social movements, will be of value to anyone interested in the great social and political questions of our time.
A New Dawn for Politics by Alain Badiou explores these themes and more, providing invaluable insights into the intersection of politics and the human condition.

Praised as an "elegant and provocative" work, Badiou's essays have been hailed for their revolutionary insight, with Jodi Dean highlighting their necessity in breaking free from ideological constraints and advocating for communism as essential to political thought. Critics appreciate the book's call to think and act as revolutionaries to build a better society where good prevails.
