Title: Polemics
Description: ""Polemics" is a series of metapolitical reflections, demolishing established opinion and dominant propaganda, and reorienting our understanding of events from the Kosovo and Iraq wars to the Paris Commune and the Cultural Revolution. Badiou considers how language becomes judgment, which judgments form opinion, how opinions harden into propaganda, and which propaganda becomes the dominant power. He presents a series of radical philosophical engagements with politics, and questions what constitutes political truth.
