Description:

This is the first book to draw consequences from Badiou's claim that his work is a 'Platonism of the multiple' and that philosophy today requires a 'platonic gesture'. Examining the relationship between Badiou and Plato, Bartlett transforms our perception of Plato's philosophy and rethinks the central philosophical question: 'what is education?'
