Interviews with Aud Lanslen

What is politics? What is emancipation? What is the fate of revolutions in history? What are popular movements and collective practices capable of? Does it make sense to talk about the left and the right today? How can we resist authoritarian power, even if it is dressed up in "liberal" and "democratic" clothes? These and many other questions are discussed by the famous philosopher in lively conversations and often heated polemical dialogues.

The publication also includes several lectures on the past and present situation in philosophy and politics, and their mutual interaction.

Alain Badiou: «Machiavelli defined politics at length as the perfect art of deception. But for us, politics should be something else: the ability of society to take control of its own destiny, to invent a just order and to act in accordance with the imperative of the common good."

Alain Badiou is a philosopher, writer and playwright, professor emeritus at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris; his numerous works have been translated into many languages around the world.

Aude Lanslain is a well-known journalist, philosophy major, former editor of Marianne and Le Nouvel Observateur magazines, and currently the founder of the independent media resource Média.
