Brief description: A. J. Bartlett is Adjunct Research Fellow at the Research Unit in European Philosophy at Monash University. He is the author of Badiou and Plato: An Education by Truths (Edinburgh University Press, hb 2011, pb 2015) and translator, with Alex Ling, of Badiou's Mathematics of the Transcendental (Bloomsbury Academic, 2014).
Review Quotes: This book is perversely brilliant in its eclecticism. The authors thread their way through the topics of contemporaneity, time, the Event, and truth/Truth, swerving between Badiou, Deleuze, and Lacan. In the process of this tour de force, they take in much of the landscape of contemporary philosophy and anti-philosophy.--Henry Krips, Claremont Graduate University
