By defining four procedures as conditions of philosophy, Badiou makes the attempt to establish each as inter-related and systematically necessary to make a new proposal for thought. The fidelity to Badious project for the 21st century, however, requires a fundamental examination: are his four truths complicated by an inescapable dilemma? And if so, can the four truths be retained, as a whole, or does the individual reader have to make a decision that will alter Badious project and conclusions? By presenting the dilemmas of his thought, the scholarly reader will be in a position to then pursue the necessary study to come to their own conclusions and, by doing so, become sufficiently free to resist the many coercions of social and political life in liberal democracies today. Giosue Ghisalberti is Professor of Philosophy at Humber College, Toronto, Canada. His interests in the last decade have focused on the classical world of Judaism, Greece, Rome, and Christianity. Future work will complement the ancients with attention to modern thinkers. His most recent publication is Nietzsche and the Self-Revelations of a Martyr. 001454382 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 10, 2023). 001454382 60010 $$aBadiou, Alain$$1https://isni.org/isni/000000012136299X 001454382 650_0 $$aContinental philosophy. 001454382 650_0 $$aCritical theory. 001454382 650_0 $$aPsychoanalysis. 001454382 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001454382 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGhisalberti, Giosuè, 1958-$$tDilemmas of truth in Alain Gadiou's philosophy.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783031182952$$w(OCoLC)1348392546 001454382 852__ $$bebk 001454382 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-18296-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001454382 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1454382$$pGLOBAL_SET 001454382 980__ $$aBIB 001454382 980__ $$aEBOOK 001454382 982__ $$aEbook 001454382 983__ $$aOnline 001454382 994__ $$a92$$bISE
