Das Buch gilt als bisher beste Einführung in das Denken des französischen Philosophen Alain Badiou sowie die bisher intensivste theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit Badious Hauptwerken „Theory of the Subject“ und „Das Sein und das Ereignis“. Was ist praktischer Humanismus, was eine Ethik der Wahrheit – Badious marxistische Wurzeln und seine theoretische Refl exion der Psychoanalyse Lacans münden in einem Entwurf für eine „Intelligenz der ständigen Veränderung“, einer Anleitung widerständiger Lebenspraxis.
