This includes Badiou's theory of being and ‘Events,' his truth procedures, ethics, love, and his theory of the subject, and we try to apply them to current times. We also discuss Badiou’s “metapolitics,” Badiou’s differences with Marxist theory, and his relation to Maoism and political Marxism, and more. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in philosophy and radical egalitarian politics. TimestampCheck out 1Dime's videos if you haven't already: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@1Dimee/⁠Become a Patron at Patreon.com/OneDime to support the showBe sure to give 1Dime Radio a 5-star rating if you enjoyed!
