Tzuchien Tho and Giuseppe Bianco (eds., trs.), Badiou and the Philosophers: Interrogating 1960s French Philosophy, Bloomsbury, 2013

What are we to make of the recent ascendance of Alain Badiou to the position of general representative of French philosophy in the Anglophone humanities? There are multiple possible explanations, none of which seem immediately convincing on their own. Perhaps there is a general exhaustion with the linguistic focus of priorly dominant movements, most obviously deconstruction, inciting the fashion for Badiou at the same moment that it has birthed the rather different resurgence of Continental metaphysical realisms. It could well be that, in the context of the consensual liberal politics that befogged Anglophone academe in the 1980s and 1990s, an unrepentant Communist 68'er with no time for centrist equivocation provides a desperate gasp of fresh air otherwise unavailable; this writer, at least, would take the ambition and iconoclasm of a Badiou over the elite liberalism of a Martha Nussbaum any day. That said, Badiou and the new metaphysicians' frequently hasty dismissals of Derrida and other, prior exemplars of the Anglophone-Continental philosophical firmament are often tiresomely superficial (..)

"the elite liberalism of a Martha Nussbaum", jā, sava taisnība tur ir.
Badiū ir kaut kāds neo-platonists vispār, spriežot pēc grāmatu nosaukumiem.
Bija tāds brīdis, kad šķita - filosofija kā disciplīna, izņemot kaut kādā šaurās nozarēs, vispār tūlīt nosprāgs, jo viņai visi ķebļi no kāju apakšas tiek izsisti, bet viņa nē. Apdeitojas, resiklējas, resursējas.
