Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil by Alain Badiou

4.0

Serves as a compact introduction to a complex and widely misread philosopher. I read 'The Uses of the Word Jew' first, rather by coincidence, but I can now say that this work provided me the introduction for 'Ethics'. The way Badiou is describing revolutionary processes of Truth is an eye-opener and lets us reconsider the way in which we tend to use ethical categories like the 'radical Evil'. Highly relevant, innovative but sometimes a bit (unnecessarily?) obscure. Loved to read it!
