The Being and Event trilogy is the philosophical basis of Alain
Badiou's entire oeuvre. It is formed of three major texts, which
constitute a kind of metaphysical saga: Being and Event (1988). ),
Logics of the Worlds (2006) and finally The Immanence of Truths, which
he has been working on for 15 years. The new volume reverses the
perspective adopted in Logics of Worlds. Where in that book, Badiou
saw fit to analyze how truths, qua events, appear from the perspective
of particular worlds that by definition exclude them, in The Immanence
of Truths Badiou asks instead how the irruption of truths transforms
the worlds within which they by necessity must arise. An emphasis on
regularity and continuity has given way to an attempt, one
unquestionable in its philosophical power and implications, to
formalize rupture and reconfiguration. The Being and Event trilogy is
a unique and ambitious work that reveals how truths can be at once
context-specific and universal, situational and eternal.
