<i>Logics of Worlds</i> is the sequel to Alain Badiou's masterpiece, <i>Being and Event</i>. Tackling the questions that had been left open by <i>Being and Event</i>, and answering many of his critics in the process, Badiou supplements his pioneering treatment of multiple being with a daring and complex theory of the worlds in which truths and subjects make their mark - what he calls a materialist dialectic. Drawing on his most ambitious philosophical predecessors - Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Lacan, Deleuze – Badiou ends this important later work with an impassioned call to 'live for an Idea'.
