Against this intellectual tradition, Badiou proposes instead the consideration of politics in terms of the production of truth and the affirmation of equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe demands that the question of a possible \u003cem\u003epolitical truth\u003c\/em\u003e be separated from any notion of consensus or public opinion, and that political action be rethought in terms of the complex process that binds discussion to decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from this analysis, Badiou critically examines the thought of anthropologist and political theorist Sylvain Lazarus, Jacques Rancière's writings on workers' history and democratic dissensus, the role of the subject in Althusser, as well as the concept of democracy and the link between truth and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603024953580,"sku":"9781844677818","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781844677818-metapolitics.jpg?v=1778053806","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/metapolitics-by-alain-badiou-9781844677818","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
