The theory of life that Badiou proposes at the end of Logics of Worlds is considered in this paper as a retooling of the old idea that the human is an exception in the order of things. What distinguishes Badiou's account of the human from others though is the fact that it posits the human not as an exception from other animals, nor as an exception to ordinary life, but an exception that is other to the individual as such. The way in which Alexandre Kojève framed the human in his reading of Hegel is used to establish the basic philosophical grammar for Badiou's thinking about the human. What Badiou calls "democratic materialism" – his philosophical nemesis – is also considered from the perspective of that grammar.

Unpacks the diverse intellectual legacies woven into Badiou's work on contemporary polemics and political interventionsThe 11 essays in this volume, including a new piece by Badiou himself, reflect the formative traditions that shape the background of his political thought. They intervene critically and evaluate the present state of Badiou's work, while also breaking new ground and creating new thresholds of political thought.The contributors are a range of established scholars and rising theorists of the Badiou-effect. Each engages with the critical question of 'how to transmit the exception' politically. at the intersection of contemporary anti-imperial polemics and debates that strike at the heart of the post-modern condition (Lyotard), deconstruction (Derrida), psychoanalysis (Lacan – Zizek), biopolitics (Hardt and Negri) and pedagogy (Rancière).Key FeaturesAddresses the entire range of Badiou's political interventions and polemicsIncludes a chapter by Badiou: 'From Logic to Anthropology: Affirmative Dialectics'Investigates the anti-imperialist edge of his philosophy of truthBrings together his opposition to parliamentary politics with his trenchant critique of biopolitics
