Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism by Ray Brassier, Alain Badiou
3.0
Dense as hell but actually really got me thinking. Never would have read this if it wasn't for class but the first chapter is truly fantastic.
I really enjoyed the way he talked about (what I think falls under) the perils of identity politics as well as his overall objection to relativism. I think he raises interesting points that match well to our issues in the world today. Not sure I completely understand what he means by "events." But hopefully will have time to read more of his work during the summer. Already had a 2 hour class discussing this so CBA to really go into the specifics at the mo.
