Description: This book presents Badiou's seminar on Nietzsche's late works, which for the first time addresses what would become one of his central concepts: anti-philosophy and its adversarial yet intimate relationship with philosophy.
Review Quotes: In this seminar, Badiou sets out to address fundamental questions that concern any engagement with Nietzsche and his legacy: In what sense is he a philosopher? In what sense might 'we' or our century be called 'Nietzschean'? And how might engagement with Nietzsche and his most incisive readers clarify the wider relation between philosophy and art? These questions are filtered through the literally decisive question of value. This puts Badiou and Nietzsche on a fascinating collision course, as regards the value of truth, of affirmation, and of philosophy itself.--Peter Hallward, author of Badiou: A Subject to Truth
