A singular palimpsest; Notes; Bibliography; Index;Badiou''s Deleuze presents the first thorough analysis of one of the most significant encounters in contemporary thought: Alain Badiou''s summary interpretation and rejection of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Badiou''s reading of Deleuze is largely laid out in his provocative book, Deleuze: The Clamor of Being, a highly influential work of considerable power. Badiou''s Deleuze presents a detailed examination of Badiou''s reading and argues that, whilst it fails to do justice to the Deleuzean project, it invites us to reconsider what Deleuze''s philosophy amounts to, to reassess Deleuze''s.
