內容簡介
內容簡介 法國哲學大師阿藍.巴迪歐(Alain Badiou)寫給遭資本主義迫害的學生、青年、勞工與移民的哲學書。「當今最重要的哲學著作之一。」--美國哲學家/Joan Copjec「沙特與阿圖塞的後裔。」--《新政治家》雜誌(New Statesman)「一個像柏拉圖或黑格爾的人,走到了我們當中。」-- 齊澤克(Slavoj Zizek)阿藍.巴迪歐(Alain Badiou)這本被英譯為《給武裝分子的哲學》著作,其法文的原名是《哲學與政治間的謎樣關係》(La relation énigmatique entre philosophie et politique),2011年在法國出版,原是Badiou從2005到2010年三篇研討會論文的集結。此英譯本另收錄譯者Bruno Bosteels的前言,還有一篇與Badiou討論2012年魁北克學生示威遊行的訪談。本書所謂的武裝分子,指的是自1970年代至今,歐美反資本主義的政治運動分子,包括學生、勞工、青年與移民,也是本書的主要讀者。第一章是Badiou於2010年在巴黎的演講,他要處理的是兩個關鍵的問題:哲學的基本目的是什麼?與政治面對面時,哲學如何運作?第二章是Badiou 2006年在洛杉磯的演講,處理的是現代軍人所代表的意義。他認為軍人是現代戰場上英雄的化身,但是與過去所謂的英雄形象卻大不相同。從法國大革命以來,軍人的形象是民主的、集體的,而當代的軍人卻是無人性的代表,過去詩人筆下軍人的典範已蕩然無存。第三章討論的是在可能與不可能之間游移的政治學。為了處理政治、哲學與民主之間的衝突,Badiou在書中提出了所謂”復興的共產主義”方案。本書的文字不像Badiou其他著作那般艱深,除了研究Badiou的學者,也適合對哲學與政治有興趣的一般讀者閱讀。An urgent and provocative account of the modern 'militant', a transformative figure at the front line of emancipatory politics. Around the world, recent events have seen the creation of a radical phalanx comprising students, the young, workers and immigrants. It is Badiou's contention that the politics of such militants should condition the tasks of philosophy, even as philosophy clarifies the truth of our political condition.
