Badiou's Being and Event

Alain Badiou, Being and Event, tr. Oliver Feltham, Continuum, 2006. This book looks to be rather interesting.

Review: http://ndpr.nd.edu/review.cfm?id=12406

Stirner: Truth is made, not discovered; truths are "human statutes and human creatures"

Feuerbach: "objectively, God is nothing other than the essence of feeling."

Badiou: "Dieu, c'est fini. Et la religion aussi, c'est fini." "Mathematics is ontology. Ever since the Greeks, mathematics has given us our know ledge of being as being."
