Philosophy neither has to ban the poets from the republic nor abdicate its own powers to the sole benefit of poetry or art. Instead, it must declare the end of what Badiou names the “age of the poets,” which stretches from Hölderlin to Celan. Drawing on ideas from his first publication on the subject, “The Autonomy of the Aesthetic Process,” Badiou offers an illuminating set of readings of contemporary French prose writers, giving us fascinating insights into the theory of the novel while also accounting for the specific position of literature between science and ideology.\u003cb\u003eAlain Badiou\u003c\/b\u003e teaches Philosophy at the Ecole normale supérieure and the Collège international de philosophie in Paris. In addition to several novels, plays and political essays, he has published a number of major philosophical works, including \u003ci\u003eTheory of the Subject\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eBeing and Event\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eManifesto for Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eGilles Deleuze\u003c\/i\u003e.
