Description
Alain Badiou - The Century
The Century is a book about politics, philosophy and literature by Alain Badiou, first
published in French by Éditions du Seuil in 2005; the English translation by Alberto
Toscano was published by Polity Press in 2007. The thirteen chapters of the book are
presented as lessons derived from a seminar Badiou gave at the College International de
Philosophie between 1998-2001. Badiou's analysis of the 20th century is drawn from his
unique encounter with 20th century poetry and theater, literary theory, totalitarianism, and
the search for meaningful narratives that are neither logical nor dialectical. He warns
against "animal humanism" and advocates "formalized inhumanism".
