Badiou: A Subject to Truth

Peter Hallward
AnthonyAnthony

‘The whole ethical predication based upon recognition of the other should be purely and simply abandoned. For the real question—and it is an extraordinarily difficult one—is much more that of recognising the Same.’ —from Peter Hallward’s ‘Badiou: A Subject to Truth’

Translations

Anthony Barnett
AnthonyAnthony

Such an outstanding collection of translated poems and prose in Anthony Barnett's 'Translations'. Roger Giroux is a new discovery into which I've dipped but don't wish to read further for risk of getting to the end: 'so I named it absence'. https://t.co/b5jsSahl9T

Usama Ibn Munqidh

@alokranj I can't claim to be an Islamic history and literature buff, but suggest 'The Book of Contemplation' by Usama ibn Munqidh may be worth investigating. https://t.co/nEfKIWh3OD

The Long Form

Kate Briggs
AnthonyAnthony

I've felt compelled to read Kate Brigg's The Long Form whenever possible this weekend. It is an allegory of reading. Brilliant how she fuses together the intimate and expansive elements by the "end" of the reading process. Essential @FitzcarraldoEds. https://t.co/wVDJ1a1Khy
