Philosophy for Militants (Pt. 1)

It's time for Real Late Night Philosophy Hourz on Red Library. Comrade Alex makes his triumphant return to the library to discuss Philosophy for Militants, a book on the relationship between philosophy and politics by French Communist/psychoanalytic philosopher, Alain Badiou. This first of two parts focuses on Badiou's general approach to philosophy and politics, some core philosophical ideas of the book, and lots of laughs.  Don't be a Philosophy Epstein.  Further Readings/References Alain Badiou Philosophy for Militants Summary and Review Jacques-Alain Miller Gilles Deleuze Badiou versus Deleuze Badiou on Event and Truth Communist ASMR May 1968 in France Unified Socialist Party Jacques Lacan Louis Althusser Interpellation Edward Bernays Century of the Self by Adam Curtis Otto Rank Rebirthing Therapy Trial of Socrates Lacan's Four Discourses Freire's Banking Model of Education Aristotelian Logic Badiou on St. Paul Hegel's Owl of Minerva ------------------------------------------------ Email us at [email protected] Follow us on Twitter at Red Library@red_library_pod Click here to subscribe to Red Library on iTunes  Click here to support Red Library on Patreon Click here to find Red Library on Facebook Click here to find the host's political theory blog, Capillaries: Theory at the Front
