Description
The Age of the Poets revisits the age-old problem of the relation between literature and philosophy, arguing against both Plato and Heidegger's famous arguments. Philosophy neither has to ban the poets from the republic nor abdicate its own powers to the sole benefit of poetry or art. Instead, it must declare the end of what Badiou names the "age of the poets," which stretches from Hölderlin to Celan.
Drawing on ideas from his first publication on the subject, "The Autonomy of the Aesthetic Process," Badiou offers an illuminating set of readings of contemporary French prose writers, giving us fascinating insights into the theory of the novel while also accounting for the specific position of literature between science and ideology.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised by Slavoj Zizek as embodying the spirit of Plato and Hegel, Badiou is regarded as a key intellectual figure. The New Statesman acknowledges him as an heir to Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser, while BBC HARDtalk highlights his influence in France’s anti-capitalist left since 1968. Joan Copjec names him one of the most important philosophers writing today.
