Two controversial thinkers discuss a timeless but nonetheless urgent question: should philosophy interfere in the world? Nothing less than philosophy is at stake because, according to Badiou,
philosophy is nothing but interference and commitment and will not be
restrained by academic discipline. Philosophy is strange and new, and
yet speaks in the name of all - as Badiou shows with his theory of
universality. Similarly, Zizek believes that the philosopher must intervene, contrary
to all expectations, in the key issues of the time. He can offer no
direction, but this only shows that the question has been posed
incorrectly: it is valid to change the terms of the debate and settle on
philosophy as abnormality and excess. At once an invitation to philosophy and an introduction to the thinking
of two of the most topical and controversial philosophers writing today,
this concise volume will be of great interest to students and general
readers alike.
