Wittgenstein's Antiphilosophy

Alain Badiou takes on the standard bearer of the "e;linguistic turn"e; in modern philosophy and anatomizes the "e;antiphilosophy"e; 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.
