<p>The perfect companion piece to Badiou's <em>Pocket Pantheon</em>, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in what Badiou calls the “French moment” in contemporary philosophy. </p><p>From the often-quoted review of Louis Althusser's canonical works <em>For Marx</em> and <em>Reading Capital</em> to the scathing critiques of the “potato fascism” in Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's <em>Anti-Oedipus</em> and the “grand politics” of Christian Jambet and Guy Lardreau's <em>The Angel</em>; from talks on Michel Foucault and Jean-Luc Nancy to reviews of the work of Jean-François Lyotard and Barbara Cassin, Badiou reveals the exceptionally rich and varied adventure that is French philosophy.</p>
