Synopsis "The Immanence of Truths: Being and Event iii "

The Being and Event trilogy is the philosophical basis of Alain Badiou's entire oeuvre. It is formed of three major texts, which constitute a kind of metaphysical saga: Being and Event (1988). ), Logics of the Worlds (2006) and finally The Immanence of Truths, which he has been working on for 15 years. The new volume reverses the perspective adopted in Logics of Worlds.Where in that book, Badiou saw fit to analyze how truths, qua events, appear from the perspective of particular worlds that by definition exclude them, in The Immanence of TruthsBadiou asks instead how the irruption of truth transforms the worlds within which they by necessity must arise. An emphasis on regularity and continuity has given way to an attempt, one unquestionable in its philosophical power and implications, to formalize rupture and reconfiguration.The Being and Eventtrilogy is a unique and ambitious work that reveals how truths can be at once context-specific and universal, situational and eternal

Alain Badiou (1937) is a French philosopher, mathematician, and writer known for his contribution to contemporary thought. His work spans philosophy, political theory, and literature, with a strong influence from structuralism and Marxism. Among his most notable books is Being and Event (1988), where he develops his ontological theory based on mathematics. He is also the author of Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil (1993) and Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism (1997).

Badiou has explored themes such as truth, love, politics, and art, proposing a philosophy that challenges hegemonic thinking. His innovative and provocative approach has influenced contemporary philosophical debate, establishing him as a key figure in 21st-century philosophy.
