Alain Badiou is a French philosopher, formerly chair of Philosophy at the ecole normal superieure (ENS) and founder of the faculty of Philosophy of the University de Paris VIII with Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Jean-François Lyotard. Badiou has written about the concepts of being, truth, event and the subject in a way that, he claims, is neither postmodern nor simply a repetition of modernity.
Badiou has been involved in a number of political organisations, and regularly comments on political events. Badiou argues for resurrecting the idea of communism.
