In Badiou, Infinity, and Subjectivity: Reading Hegel and Lacan after Badiou, Mohammad Reza Naderi elaborates on the trajectory of Alain Badiou’s philosophy by following a leading thread: the dominance of axiomatic thought and the category of mathematical infinity. According to this primary proposition, axiomatic thought is the only form of thinking adequate to the infinity of being. Using both primary and secondary literature, the author demonstrates two other major propositions: 1) The coherence of Badiou’s intellectual development from the early interventions to the publication of Being and Event, and 2) The formation of a theory Naderi calls “discipline.” By working through three dimensions of disciplinary thinking—interiority, novelty, and beginning—Naderi provides a new framework for understanding the inner structure of what Badiou calls “procedures of truths” and develops a new interpretation that ultimately reveals the inner logic of Badiou’s method.

In Badiou, Infinity, and Subjectivity: Reading Hegel and Lacan after Badiou, Mohammad Reza Naderi offers a new and comprehensive reading of the unity of Badiou's thought, from some of his first philosophical writings prior to the events of May '68 right up to Being and Event and beyond, in the context of his ongoing and decisive critical and dialectical engagements with Lacan and Hegel. Clearly written and insightful, Naderi's book witnesses the dramatic and relevant consequences of Badiou's insistence on the actuality of the infinite for the contemporary possibilities of thought across the domains of politics, science, logic and ethics, among others. Recommended for all those interested in the wide-ranging implications of the axiomatics of infinity for the possibilities of real novelty and fundamental transformation today.
