Book Synopsis
In a well-known text called The Communist Hypothesis , first published in 2007, the renowned philosopher Alain Badiou breathed fresh life into the idea of communism as an intellectual representation that provides a critical perspective on existing politics and offers a systemic alternative to capitalism.

Trade Review
"Philosophy and the Idea of Communism sees Badiou give a lively – indeed frequently surprising – presentation of his views. Most notably, it has the virtue of opening up a number of novel lines of inquiry into Badiou�s relationship to Marx and Marxism."
