Wittgenstein's Antiphilosophy

Alain Badiou takes on the standard bearer of the &quote;linguistic turn&quote; in modern philosophy and anatomizes the &quote;antiphilosophy&quote; of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In the course of his interrogation of Wittgenstein's thinking, Badiou refines his own definitions of the universal truths that govern his work. Bruno Bosteels's introduction argues that a continuing dialogue with Wittgenstein is inescapable for contemporary philosophy.
