The Century Book by Alain Badiou (Farsi)

Description

The Century by Alain Badiou is a philosophical examination of the 20th century, based on thirteen lectures delivered at the Collège International de Philosophie between 1998 and 2001. Rather than judging the century from a contemporary standpoint, Badiou seeks to understand it from within, exploring how it defined itself through revolutionary events, artistic movements, and ideological struggles. He introduces the concept of "formalized inhumanism" as a counter to "animal humanism," advocating for a reevaluation of the century's aspirations and failures. Badiou's analysis traverses poetry, politics, and philosophy, aiming to uncover the truths produced during this tumultuous period.
