Badiou and Communicable Worlds: A Critical Introduction to Logics of Worlds
Alain Badiou’s Logics of Worlds stands as one of the most important texts in contemporary thought yet, for the most part, the book has been under-read, misunderstood, often just ignored. Watkin’s diligent, yet critical, close-reading of the book makes the case for Logics of Worlds being the essential Badiou book of the future, for anyone interested in existence, meaning and the potential for radical change.
William Watkin is Professor of Contemporary Philosophy and Literature. He has been at Brunel University since 1999. During that time he has served as Head of English (twice), Deputy Head of research for the School, Deputy Head of the School, and most recently head of English and Creative Writing.He is the author of In the Process of Poetry: The New York School and the Avant-Garde (2001), On Mourning: Theories of Loss in Modern Literature (2004), The Literary Agamben (2010) Agamben and Indifference (2014) and Badiou and Indifferent Being (2017).
