The book expands upon and elucidates the questions posed in the first book, and as a complex theory of worlds, it has been misunderstood. However, in William Watkin's diligent and critical close-reading of the book, he makes the case for Logics of Worlds being the essential Badiou book for anyone interested in existence, meaning, and the potential for radical change. Watkin's recasting of ontology is followed by a transformation of logic, which is not only a theory of being but of appearing and allows Badiou to give new meaning to the object, body, and relation. To do this, he explores these concepts through architecture, astronomy, and renowned thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, and Kierkegaard. For students of French Continental philosophy, ontology, and Badiou himself, Watkin's commentary on the philosopher's text provides a brilliant and incisive new interpretation of this underrated work by the leading Continental philosopher of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350214378\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr WilliamWatkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094396039418,"sku":"9781350214378","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662129726055_book.jpg?v=1662215663","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/badiou-and-communicable-worlds-a-critical-introduction-to-logics-of-worlds-9781350214378","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
