«Que faire?» is the philosophical dialogue by Alain Badiou and Marcel Gauchet, published by Philo éditions in paperback (161 pages, in French).
Alain Badiou, defender of the communist hypothesis, and Marcel Gauchet, representative of liberal democracy, confront their positions on history. Faced with the crisis of capitalism, they ask whether the communist idea can survive history and whether democracy can reinvent itself in the face of globalization.
Published in 2014 by Philo éditions, in the Philosophie Magazine catalogue, the book is presented in paperback and includes bibliographic references.
For readers of political philosophy and contemporary thought interested in communism, democracy and capitalism.
Alain Badiou is a French philosopher, formerly chair of Philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure and founder of the faculty of Philosophy of the Université de Paris VIII with Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Jean-François Lyotard. Badiou's work is heavily informed by philosophical applications of mathematics, in particular set theory and category theory. Badiou's "Being and Event" project considers the concepts of being, truth, event and the subject defined by a rejection of linguistic relativism seen as typical of postwar French thought. Unlike his peers, Badiou believes in the idea of universalism and truth. His work is notable for his widespread applications of various conceptions of indifference. Badiou has been involved in a number of political organisations, and regularly comments on political events. Badiou argues for a return of communism as a political force.
